Independence Fest


Independence Fest 2024 is set for Thursday, July 4. Like always, the day will be packed full of fun and activities for all, including a Children’s Parade, vintage car show, food trucks, local vendors, hours of live entertainment, and a stunning firework show to cap it all off!  Thanks to our sponsors, Independence Fest 2024 is completely free.

We’re thrilled to welcome Texas country singer/songwriter Pat Green back to Flower Mound to headline Independence Fest 2024! When the Grammy nominated singer-songwriter first played at Independence Fest in 2018, he rocked Bakersfield Park, and we can’t wait for him to do it again. Known for hits like "Wave on Wave," "Carry On," and "Texas On My Mind," Green has sold more than two million records and has a string of Top Ten hits on the Billboard Country Radio chart. His latest album, "Miles and Miles of You," is the 14th of his career and his first in nearly seven years. It features ten fresh tracks that capture the resilience, maturity, and optimistic joy of Green’s creative resurgence. Credited as one of Texas country’s modern era founding fathers, Green’s career has gone beyond the bounds of a country star since his debut album in 1995.

The festivities will kick off that morning with our annual Children’s Parade to Leonard and Helen Johns Park, where there will be kids’ activities, face painting, and food and drinks provided by Market Street. Then, the party continues at Bakersfield Park (1201 Duncan Ln.) with live entertainment on the main stage presented by Republic Services and GDS Wealth Management, food trucks, vendor booths, a car show, a kids’ zone presented by CoServ, and some spectacular fireworks presented by JSK Operations Management, Inc.
