4th of July Fireworks
Lynn Creek Park

The annual fireworks show always draws a large crowd. Pack a picnic, bring some chairs or blankets and arrive early to find and claim a nice spot where you can watch the fireworks. The city of Grand Prairie considers this a special event. This means that everyone, including Grand Prairie residents, are required to pay a $15 per vehicle entry fee. This charge covers up to 6 people, with a $2 charge for each additional passenger. Call 817-467-2104 for more information, or go here to find out more about Lynn Creek Park or go here to get driving directions.
