Celebrating Independence Day: Pleasanton Express Wishes You a Happy 4th of July

Three free July 4th events in Atascosa County, Texas announced.

Exciting news, residents of Atascosa County! Your local cities have organized not one, not two, but three fantastic and free July 4th events for you to enjoy. What could be better than celebrating America's independence surrounded by your loved ones, dressed in patriotic colors, indulging in free hot dogs, and watching a mesmerizing fireworks display? I understand that the scorching Texas heat can be a deterrent, but let's remember that it's July in Texas, and it's simply un-Texan and un-American to miss out on a July 4th firework extravaganza. So, mark your calendars and make plans to attend one or even all of these incredible events.

These free events, organized by our local municipalities, require a tremendous amount of effort and dedication. When I was growing up, my parents made it a point to take us to every local event. Not only was it a reflection of the times, but they strongly believed that active participation is crucial for building a strong and vibrant community. They believed that our collective experiences with our neighbors, whether at work, in worship, or at play, are what make a community truly great. Even just showing up at a public event sends a powerful message of support to the municipality or organization behind it.

At the Pleasanton Express, we take immense joy in seeing our friends and readers come out to support community events. We will be present at all three of these events, capturing photos and sharing live videos. We sincerely hope to see you there!

And hey, if you happen to take any adorable 4th of July photos, don't forget to tag the Pleasanton Express so we can share in your joy!

And of course, we can't forget about the City of Pleasanton's celebration on Tuesday, July 4, at the Pleasanton River Park.
