Weekends Count Magazine - Helping you maximize your weekends through travel and DIY experiences.: Experience Independence Day in Granbury

🇺🇸Are you as excited about the Granbury Fourth of July as we are? We were so excited to capture the trucks, horses, boats, floats and amazing displays of creativity featured during last year’s parade. 🇺🇸

🥳 We are proud of live in and encourage others to visit the Celebration Capital of Texas because there is always a celebration, festival, or special event held in Granbury. Granbury is in Central Texas and it 35 minutes from Interstate 20 and around 45 minutes form Interstate 30.

🚎 We love the trolley and it is an incredible way to travel from place to place in Granbury.

🏨The hotels are top notch and the staff members are always open to a conversation about their love for the city! In fact, we were eating breakfast in the Hilton Garden Inn and a guest asked me was I vistiting. I replied that I was not, but I love living in the city of Granbury!

🌟The grandson of the Granbury Hilton Garden Inn’s manager overhead us and chimed in too! He said, “I LOVE Granbury!”

We hope you feel the same way when visiting our town. Visit our small town during Independence Day week and stay awhile! You might like it enough to stick around for a few years… We did!

Here’s the usual schedule for Independence Day!

9am - The parade!

The two-mile long parade begins at Granbury High School and stretches around town. There is not a bad place to view the parade along the route. We were actuallly located by the downtown car wash last year and it was a great location!

After the Parade - There are many opportunities to hear music and see local demonstrations of karate and dance!

7:30pm - The Independence Day Rodeo

9:45pm(ish) - Get ready to view the fireworks from almost every corner of town! We can actually see the fireworks from our backyard!
