The event will be slightly different than previously, with all children’s activities canceled and parade participants asked not to throw out candy or other items to spectators. There will be a drive-thru option available for those that wish to remain in their vehicle, and sanitation stations will be available on the grounds. KTEX-106’s Cactus Ken Murray will be broadcasting live in Round Top the morning of the 4th from the friendly country cruiser.
As a reminder, starting at 9 p.m. the night of the Fourth of July, KTEX-106 will air a special “Texas 12 in a Row” featuring patriotic songs to go along with the various fireworks displays in the area. The program is sponsored by Budweiser – Mike Hopkins Distributing.
KWHI hopes everyone has a happy and safe Fourth of July.
Any firework shows at the lake this year?
Yay 🙂 I’m excited to celebrate the Fourth as we always have. Congrats to these people who stood their ground and still put on fireworks shows or parades. We need it to lift our spirits because there has been nothing to look forward to lately. This is important and special! Happy Fourth Everyone!!!!!!
Fireworks at Brenham Country Club ? Yes? No?
Brenham Country Club will NOT be doing it this year
Don’t know where you heard that, but the Country Club confirmed they are having the fireworks at dark thirty.
You must remember no crowds larger than 100 and it may have cut it down to even small small numbers and Gatherings outside so fine stay home stay safe if you go out remember one warning and then a $250 fine for not wearing a mask
Checked @ 10:25am 7/3/2020 and Brenham Country Club IS having fireworks at Dusk on 7/4/2020. Country Clubs # 979-836-1733 if you want to check tomorrow(4th) if that has changed.
Yes
Too bad the cities cancelled events. But that what is so nice about small towns; they keep the charm. I have fiends from all over Texas coming to Round Top! No one is stopping us from throwing a party! ? ?????????????
