The public is invited to celebrate America’s freedom at Hill Country Galleria’s annual Independence Day Festival. The event includes fair rides and games for the whole family, live music by Austin’s School of Rock, Eve & The Exiles, The Derailers, KP & The Boom Boom and Vallejo, face painting and more for the kids, an art fair with 75+ arts, crafts, and visual artisan vendor booths, barbecue, festival food, and a spectacular fireworks show to end the evening. Guests are also welcome to dine in or order from the Galleria’s restaurant and food options, and are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets to enjoy live music beginning at 4 p.m. on the Central Plaza lawn.
