AUSTIN, Texas — The weekend is almost here, and if you’re looking for something to do, KVUE is here to help.
Here’s a list of some fun things you can take part in this Independence Day weekend:
Get your red, white and blue outfits on and gather the family together to visit Vic Mathias Shores for patriotic music from the symphony and a fireworks display over the Austin skyline. This year there will also be a variety of vendors with food, drinks and crafts. The festivities begin at 8 p.m. and it is a free, family-friendly event open to the public.

On Friday, you can play carnival-themed activities and there will be live entertainment and family-friendly contests. On Saturday, they'll have the same events but will also have a hot air balloon and firework show. On Sunday, they will have a salute to our heroes. You need tickets to get into the park, and the fireworks show is set to start at 9:30 p.m.
Gates open at 5 p.m. for their Independence Day celebration. The game starts at 6:05 p.m. There will be postgame fireworks set to patriotic music and all fans are invited to run the bases after the postgame fireworks show.
