Tomball’s July 4th Celebration & Street Fest Returns with Fireworks, Music, and Family Fun
Families across Northwest Harris County are invited to celebrate America’s birthday in a big way as the City of Tomball hosts its annual July 4th Celebration & Street Fest on Friday, July 4, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Business Highway 249, just north of FM 2920 and behind Kroger (see map here).
This free-admission patriotic festival is one of the largest Independence Day events in the Greater Houston area, transforming Tomball’s main thoroughfare into a bustling party complete with live music, food trucks, inflatables, giveaways, and a giant fireworks display set to light up the night sky.

With summer temperatures on the rise, the festival’s organizers are ready to help families beat the heat. The event features a Kids' Zone packed with wet bounce house slides, a foam pit party inflatable, and a giant obstacle course to keep little ones moving and cool. Face painting and patriotic giveaways, including a chance to win a limited-edition Tomball Forever T-shirt, round out the family-friendly fun.
Live music kicks off at 7:30 p.m., following a special tribute to veterans and active-duty military at 7:00 p.m. with an Armed Forces medley and sing-along. The celebration crescendos with a massive aerial fireworks show around 9:30 p.m., visible from multiple vantage points throughout the city.
