Plan your Dallas-Fort Worth Fourth of July fireworks
Denton is bringing back fireworks this year.
State of explosion: The city opted for drone shows for the past two years, but the 2023 display was rained out and residents panned the brief show last year.
The Denton Noon Kiwanis Club plans to ignite real fireworks this year.
If you go: The event begins at 6pm Thursday at the North Texas Fairgrounds. Food vendors include Beth Marie's ice cream, and the Raised Right Men will perform.
Entry is free, but parking costs $10.
