Despite the potential cancellation of its fireworks show, The Woodlands has created a number of different ways to celebrate America’s Independence over the Fourth of July holiday.
Live concerts, a parade, and splash days are part of the overall outstanding lineup of activities in The Woodlands this Fourth of July. Due to historic drought conditions in The Woodlands and Montgomery County, The Woodlands Township will make a final determination of its fireworks show on Monday, June 27, 2011.
