It's back in ATX in person! The 45th annual H-E-B Austin Symphony July Fourth Concert and Fireworks at Vic Mathias Shores (Auditorium Shores). Rather than celebrating at the official site, Thrillist has some very cool alternative options to view the fireworks lighting up the ATX sky! Majic 95.5, our sister station, will simulcast the fireworks soundtrack. Have a Happy & Safe 4th of July!
