Thanks to the Sulphur Springs Symphony League, the 2021 Independence Concert and Fireworks will take place at 8pm on Saturday July 3. This year’s event is the 29th annual extravaganza hosted by the Symphony League. Bring the family for this heart-stirring, flag-waving red, white and blue occasion, free and open to everyone.

Conductor Dr. Doug Bakenhus and the NE Texas Symphony Orchestra will present a thrilling setting for this unique celebration of our nation’s birthday. Be sure and stop by the KSST tent to sign up for giveaways of American flag kits. Visit one of the downtown restaurants/eateries to make it a totally memorable evening. There is some seating around the plaza but folding chairs or blankets are the suggested seating. The event will open with a Veterans Parade at 8pm followed by the orchestra concert, and fireworks will begin at dark. The concert is presented free to the community by major underwriters Alliance Bank, Grocery Supply and CHRISTUS Mother Francis Hospital, Sulphur Springs.
