If you’re planning to celebrate the Fourth of July in or around Benbrook, here’s what you need to know to make the most of it without getting burned, literally or legally.
Fireworks are fun, but safety and city regulations should always come first. In Benbrook, setting off fireworks is illegal within city limits and at Lake Benbrook. So if you’re thinking of lighting up the night sky, make sure you’re at least 5,000 feet outside the boundary.
For those looking to buy, TNT Fireworks and Nelson’s Fireworks are your closest go-tos, both conveniently located on Highway 377. They’re stocked with everything from sparklers to the full show-stoppers. Just be sure to follow the label instructions, soak spent fireworks before discarding them, and keep water nearby.
Not up for setting off your own? Catch one of the big shows nearby. Fort Worth’s Fourth at Panther Island Pavilion is always a crowd-pleaser with music and fireworks over the Trinity. Burleson, Granbury, and Hudson Oaks are also hosting their own family-friendly events, all of which will light up the night sky at different times.
No matter how you celebrate, be safe, be smart, and enjoy the show!
