Thanks to COVID-19, the Fourth of July is going to look different this year. Social distancing is preventing us from gathering the way we usually do during the holiday. And instead of festivals and in-person viewing, many cities are opting for virtual displays.

Addison’s famous Kaboom Town will take place in an undisclosed location this year. The show will be simulcast on CW33 and the Addison Youtube channel. The city is keeping the location a secret to prevent folks from gathering to watch.

Other communities offer a choice: social distance and watch in person or watch online. Fort Worth’s fireworks will be simulcast on Fox4. You can also find shows on cities’ Facebook pages.

But the good news is, whether you decide to watch your fireworks virtually or in person, there will be lots of BOOM! in the North Texas area.

To help you with your planning, we’ve created an Art&Seek 4th of July Fireworks theme. Not only will this handy-dandy the tell which night the fireworks happen, but it also includes both virtual and in-person events.
