Nothing says “summer on Galveston Island” better than the 4th of July!
This 4th of July, plan to celebrate the country’s – and your – independence on Galveston Island with a parade, fireworks, special events and more!
Galveston will host a parade and a fireworks show to celebrate the 4th of July. The parade will feature floats, marching bands, and local organizations, while the fireworks show will light up the night sky over the Gulf of Mexico.
The parade will begin at 7:00 PM and will follow a route along Seawall Boulevard from 22nd Street to 45th Street.
The show will take place on the beach following the parade (approximately 9:15PM), with the beautiful Gulf of Mexico serving as the backdrop.
The best vantage points for the fireworks include the beachfront along Seawall Boulevard. The balconies of hotels and restaurants along the Seawall are also great options for getting views of the show.
Recommended parking areas include:
- Paid parking spots along Seawall Boulevard
- The parking lot at the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier
- Street parking in the neighborhoods adjacent to Seawall Boulevard (be mindful of parking restrictions)
