Believe it or not, we’re not big fireworks people in Austin – Meaning, we don’t pop fireworks all year long, but when it comes to special celebrations like Independence Day and New Years Eve, we’ve got the firework shows on lock! For decades now, Austin (and other parts of Texas) have experienced some pretty intense droughts which is why city ordinance says we aren’t allowed to go crazy with the fireworks within city limits. Lucky for us, the city already puts on epic fireworks shows that we don’t even have to pay for! Grab your friends, a blanket, and sit down at these locations for epic fireworks shows in Austin.
