Shell Freedom Over Texas 2024

The City of Houston revealed its 2024 Shell Freedom Over Texas plans on Tuesday. The July 4th event has been Houston's annual celebration for 37 years, with fireworks, food activities, and live music acts bringing an attendance of 50000 people.

The event takes place at Eleanor Tinsley Park and Sam Houston Park, located along Allen Parkway just west of downtown, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. General admission is $10, and children 5 and under are free.

Along Allen Parkway, this year’s Freedom Over Texas is an event filled with six hours of festivities, tradition, and live concert stages. Freedom Over Texas will feature local, regional, and national entertainment and will be capped off with a musically choreographed “Texas-sized” fireworks finale.

This event has become Houston’s annual signature July 4th celebration, with an average of 50,000 people in attendance and televised live in Houston. The event will solicit television affiliates from across the state of Texas to simulcast a portion of the event. Freedom Over Texas will feature a unique non-profit component that joins forces with the Houston Food Bank to help fill an extraordinary demand in our regional community. The event will donate a percentage of food and beverage sales to the Houston Food Bank.
