Bastrop Patriotic Festival

Get ready to ignite your patriotic spirit at the Bastrop Big Bang Celebration, the dazzling successor to the classic Bastrop Patriotic Festival! Set along the scenic Colorado River at Fisherman’s Park, this community-wide Independence Day bash is packed with free, family-friendly fun. The morning kicks off with the charmingly chaotic Pet and Pal Parade, where furry friends don their finest red, white, and blue, followed by the car-free Freedom on Wheels cruise down Main Street. As evening sets in, the park comes alive with bounce houses, cooling sprinklers, fierce cornhole tournaments, face painting, and a fleet of local food trucks. Once the sun dips below the horizon, settle into your lawn chair for the grand finale—an explosive 15-minute fireworks spectacular perfectly synchronized to music!
