Enjoy favorites such as “America the Beautiful,” “Proud to be an American,” “National Anthem,” “Seventy Six Trombones,” “Stars and Stripes Forever,” and “God Bless America” as booming water jets and colorful light displays amplify these patriotic classics.

Songs at The Fountains at Waterway Square will begin on Saturday, July 2, 2011 through Wednesday, July 6, 2011. The songs continue every 15 minutes from noon to 2 p.m. and again at 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays. During the holiday weekend, families will enjoy songs from noon to 11 p.m.

“Featuring patriotic songs at The Fountains at Waterway Square is just one of many ways The Woodlands embraces the sprit of American patriotism,” says Nick Wolda, President of The Woodlands Convention & Visitors Bureau. “The Woodlands has become such a great place to celebrate our nation’s independence and we are excited to be involved in such great activities for our residents and visitors.”

Waterway Square, located along Lake Robbins Drive between Waterway Avenue and Woodloch Forest Drive, features a 120-foot long, 10-foot high stone water wall where ribbons of water flow down seven terraced levels to a lower pond with 20 cascade jets. The water wall is flanked by stairs and stepped water cascades, all leading to an upper fountain containing 80 jets and three boomer jets that shoot water up to 75 feet high. The water jets, waterfalls and cascades are designed to create a variety of displays and effects ranging from the subtle flow of water over a stone wall to dancing columns of water, to intense bursts of water shooting several stories into the air. Waterway Square features seven speakers on the upper level and 12 speakers on the lower level.
