It isn’t too early to start making plans for the 4th of July. Llano offers several days of events you won’t want to miss! If one night of fireworks isn’t enough, mark your calendars for both July 4 and 7. Llano Rock ‘N Riverfest will be the most happening place those nights as the town celebrates on the water. Watch from the river or from the shore-either way the views will be spectacular.

In addition to fireworks, you won’t want to miss the jet ski races right on the Llano River as racers suit up and face-off in epic battles of speed. For the kids there will be a splash pad, face-painting, a bounce house, and other children’s activities. Be sure to pack bathing suits and sunscreen for the adults and kids!

For animal lovers and pet enthusiasts, you won’t want to miss the Pet Parade. It’s a chance to dress up Fido in a fun costume and take part in the action! Whether or not you directly participate, it’s fun to watch pets and their proud owners parade around in costume to the beat of the music.

If you have a Rat Rod car, bring it along and show it off! Badu Park will host a Rat Rod car show where everyone can share and view these one-of-a-kind cars on display. Food vendors and music will accompany the activities, so bring an appetite and your dancing shoes! There will also be a number of craft vendors for some afternoon shopping.

The fun starts at 11 a.m. and goes all day. Fireworks will take place after the sun goes down. Bring along chairs and blankets to spread out, and enjoy the day.  Since the events span the course of several days,  you might be interested in staying for a while in Llano and exploring this charming small town. Check out the event Facebook and web page for more information and updates!
