Fort Worth's Fourth at Panther Island Pavilion

Go tubing in a river and watch the fireworks above at this annual fest that’s uniquely Fort Worth. Dress the kids in their swimsuits and bring your tubes, if you got ’em, to play in the swim area until 8pm. (Kids must be at least 30 inches tall.) The fireworks show pops off at 9:30pm, and in the hours before then, party-goers are welcome to enjoy the kids activities like inflatables, water slides, and a zip line.
