Two solid nights of fireworks bookend this event—one on July 4th and one on July 6th—making Llano the setting for one of the best celebrations Texas has to offer. Jet ski races are scheduled to take place on the river at Badu Park on July 6, 2019, which are open to the public and feature amateur and professional divisions on a pattern course. Guests can watch from their choice of floating on the Llano River or from the shore, both of which have spectacular vantage points.

In addition to the high-speed jet ski races, families will want to spend time participating in various organized games, visiting the Oldies But Goodies car show, touring the many vendor booths, and checking out the Patriotic Pet Parade! Those who love to dress their pets in red, white, and blue will have the opportunity to register their furry friends and put them on display on July 6, 2019. There’s also a children’s parade scheduled for the evening hours, which will definitely be a highlight of the event festivities.
