Independence Day, commonly referred to as Fourth of July is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. We celebrate July 4th in Austin Texas with fireworks, parades, backyard BBQ, fairs, baseball games, shopping for great deals, or enjoying a nice evening out with friends and family. However we choose to celebrate 4th of July 2016 in Austin TX, we do so by honoring the the founders of our great nation. Some things to do on 4th of July weekend in Austin Texas 2016 include camping, fishing and golfing. Want to do something at night in Austin for July 4th 2016?
