    Addison Kaboom Town! returns to celebrate Independence Day with record-breaking anticipation

    Set to return on Friday, July 3, Addison Kaboom Town! is bringing one of the nation’s most celebrated Independence Day fireworks displays back to the heart of Addison. As the United States prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this year’s celebration is expected to draw unprecedented crowds and national attention.

    Already ranked among the top fireworks shows in the country — most recently named the 4th best in the United States by USA Today — Kaboom Town! is entering one of its most anticipated years yet. With America250 celebrations adding to the momentum and thousands of additional visitors expected, tickets are projected to sell out quickly. (So don't wait!)

    Each year, more than 500,000 spectators converge on the 4.4-square-mile town north of Dallas, transforming Addison into a region-wide celebration of Independence Day. The centerpiece of the festivities is the official watch party at Addison Circle Park, a 12-acre venue that serves as the heartbeat of the event.

    Guests can expect a full evening of entertainment, beginning with live music and continuing with patriotic performances and immersive experiences. The park will feature food and beverage vendors throughout, alongside returning favorites such as the Uncle Sam Jam Silent Disco, which expands this year with more headsets and enhanced programming.

    At 7:30 pm, attention turns skyward for the Addison Airport Airshow, featuring skydivers, historic aircraft, and elite aerobatic performers. The evening culminates in a patriotic tribute and National Anthem performance before the Kaboom Town! fireworks show lights up the night sky, an award-winning spectacle that has captivated audiences since 1985.

    Beyond the park, Addison’s extensive hospitality scene offers additional viewing experiences. With more than 200 restaurants and 23 hotels, many establishments host private watch parties featuring themed menus, live entertainment, and prime viewing opportunities.

    Tickets are required for entry into Addison Circle Park and are expected to be in extremely high demand. Attendees are encouraged to plan ahead, consider hotel packages, and prepare for post-show traffic delays as crowds disperse. Guests may also choose to extend their stay, enjoying Addison’s dining and entertainment offerings until congestion eases.

    More information and ticket details are available at AddisonKaboomTown.com.

    State Fair of Texas unveils full lineup of free music acts for 2026

    Free music will be plentiful during the 2026 State Fair of Texas' 24-day run, September 25-October 18. The Fair has revealed its full lineup of music acts that will be playing on multiple stages around Fair Park this year.

    The Chevrolet Main Stage is where visitors will find the biggest acts playing during the fair, with over 30 singers and bands playing during the fair.

    Headliners include Clint Black, Bowling for Soup, Kansas, Queensrÿche, Deep Blue Something, Tripping Daisy, Toadies, RaeLynn, Muscadine Bloodline, Gym Class Heroes, and more.

    While the lineup on the main stage offers a wide variety of acts from different genres, it won't be the only option for visitors looking for a music break.

    The Bud Light Stage, near Cotton Bowl Stadium, will showcase local and regional talent, while the White Claw Spotlight Stage, located at the Grove on Nimitz, will feature a variety of artists from Dallas Music Office’s roster of talent, all local to the Dallas music scene.

    In addition, the brand-new ZiegenBock Stage, located at the newly renovated Old Mill Inn near Big Tex Circle, will provide a fun atmosphere for fairgoers to enjoy a live music experience in the shadow of Big Tex.

    The Fair is continuing its partnership with State Fair Records, the East Dallas-based label that programs and produces the Bud Light Stage and Old Mill Stage.

    "State Fair Records continues to raise the bar, selecting several up-and-coming and established Texas musicians who fit the mold of the most Texan place on Earth," said Jason Hays, SVP of Brand Experience, in a statement.

    Each of the stages will feature at least one performance every day of the fair. That includes the 2026 Resident Artist, jazz musician Ken Ebo, who will perform multiple times with his jazz ensemble.

    Find that complete lineup and schedule for all stages here.

    Residents can get a taste of the live music scene even sooner at the pre-Fair party, State Fair Saddle Up. Taking place at The Rustic Dallas on September 10, the fundraising event will feature headliner Cash Byers, along with Midway games, food and beverages, auction items, and exclusive perks for VIP ticket holders.

    Funds raised will support the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs.

    Season passes for the 2026 State Fair of Texas, themed “Stars, Stripes, and Howdies,” are now on sale at BigTex.com/Tickets. Individual tickets will go on sale in September.
