Addison, Texas anticipates over a half-million guests for the nation’s BEST fireworks show: Addison Kaboom Town!

While communities across the United States celebrate Independence Day with fireworks, one of the country’s most lauded and most unique celebrations is in Addison, Texas each year on July 3. Even though Addison, at only 4.4 square miles, is home to fewer than 16,000 residents, every July 3rd a half-million guests from across the nation come to celebrate.

The celebration is city-wide, with watch parties at the 12-acre Addison Circle Park, many of Addison’s 180+ restaurants,  23 hotels, and the incredible Addison Airport Air Show which can be seen from anywhere in town! A complete list of watch parties will be available on the website closer to the event.

Kaboom Town! is powered by Stream, a Dallas-based direct seller of energy and other connected life services. The 30-minute long fireworks show, which is presented by Methodist Hospital for Surgery, is among the best in the nation and is simulcast each year on 100.3 JACK-FM.

Afterwards, attendees are invited to remain in Addison Circle Park as famed party band Emerald City shares a high-energy concert on the Budweiser Stage.

For over three decades, Addison Kaboom Town! has been named among the top fireworks shows in the country. The spectacular show was named the #1 fireworks display in the country by Inverse.com,

and is ranked as one of the top fireworks displays in the country by the American Pyrotechnics Association, Yahoo, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and Travel + Leisure Magazine.
