East Texas 4th of July Events 2025 🇺🇸

In Southeast Texas, the 4th of July is a really big deal. From fireworks, to BBQ, and watermelon- families everywhere are looking to have a good time!

Because of this, we’re gathering community events from Jasper, Newton, Tyler County, and beyond — all in one place so you don’t miss a thing!

AND, if you know of an event that we don't have listed, let us know and we will add it so everyone can have a chance to join!

The Alabama-Coushatta tribe in Livingston has unfortunately had to cancel this year's fireworks display.
