ITGO Freedom Over Texas July 4th Celebration
Featuring
Chris Young and Special Guest The Mavericks
***Volunteers Needed & Download the FOT App***

Houstonians will celebrate more than three decades of July 4th music and fireworks on Buffalo Bayou as the city's signature tribute to patriotism - CITGO Freedom Over Texas - returns with NEW live music acts and spectacular fireworks, Wednesday, July 4th from 4 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Cupid & the Dance Party Express will open the Citgo Main Stage, followed by special guest The Mavericks, with their genre-defying eclectic mix of Tex-Mex, neotraditional country music, and Latin rockabilly. Chart-topping country music star Chris Young will headline the event. Recently inducted as a member of the iconic Grand Ole Opry, Chris Young has ten No. 1 singles and seven albums to his credit, including the two-time platinum single "I'm Comin' Over" and 2015's Gold-certified album I'm Comin' Over, which earned multiple ACM, BBMA, CMA, CMT, Grammy and RDMA nominations and scored three consecutive chart-topping singles. As is tradition, the evening will conclude with a spectacular blast of fireworks thanks to CITGO, which has provided the finale since 2015. This is the second year that CITGO has been the dual sponsor of the pyrotechnics and the event title. For more details visit www.FreedomOverTexas.org.
