Army Reserve Band part of holiday festivities

By Julian Bowman

Celebrate the Fourth of July at Fair Park Fourth, presented by Regions Bank, on Thursday, July 4, starting at 4:30 p.m. Free and open to the public, Fair Park Fourth will offer a diverse range of family-friendly entertainment and experiences, including games, food vendors, photo opportunities, live music from the 395th Army Reserve Band, and a spectacular fireworks display. 

Attractions will be centered around Leonhardt Lagoon, the Court of Honor in front of the Hall of State, and inside the Automobile Building. Due to construction, Carona Plaza and the Cotton Bowl Stadium will be closed to the public.

Once again, the event is proudly presented by Regions Bank, demonstrating its ongoing commitment through a multi-year community partnership with Fair Park. This collaboration aims to foster an abundance of free community and family gatherings.

“Fair Park Fourth is an incredible celebration of both our nation — and our community,” said Tyrus Sanders, Commercial Banking leader and market executive for Regions Bank in Dallas. “Regions Bank is incredibly proud to support this free event, encouraging people and families across Dallas to gather together and create lasting memories while celebrating our nation’s freedom and the continued investments that make Fair Park a world-class place for neighbors to come together.”

Fair Park Fourth invites guests to immerse themselves in a day filled with fun, cultural experiences and patriotic traditions. You can explore local vendors and exhibitors, bounce around on inflatables, slide down giant slides, and tackle obstacle courses. The event also features lawn games, face painters, balloon animal makers, an outdoor gaming trailer and a kid’s express train.

At 7 p.m., the 395th Army Reserve Band will perform live on the stage in front of the Hall of State. Plus, the DJ School will keep the energy high by playing fan favorites on music stages spread throughout the park. With so much to do, there’s something for everyone.

This year, the cooling station moves to the Automobile Building, where you can escape the heat. Inside the 84,000-square-foot air-conditioned space, you’ll find games, concessions, movies, photo opportunities and special activities from sponsors. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy some indoor fun.

At around 9:40 p.m., the celebration will cap off with a spectacular fireworks show. It can be seen from all around Fair Park, including the Leonhardt Lagoon or the Esplanade.
