Lubbock is rolling out the red, white, and blue in a big way this Independence Day weekend, with two beloved community traditions taking center stage — the 4th on Broadway celebration and the annual fireworks show at Mackenzie Park.

The 4th on Broadway parade, one of the Hub City’s most anticipated summer events, is set to roll down Broadway Street for 2026. KLBK announced it will broadcast the parade live, giving residents who can’t make it downtown a front-row seat from home. Organizers have shared parking maps and schedules to help attendees plan their visit and make the most of the festivities.

Meanwhile, crews have already been busy at Mackenzie Park preparing for the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. The beloved lakeside display at Buffalo Springs Lake is also gearing up for its own annual fireworks celebration, giving Lubbock-area families even more options to mark the holiday together.

From parade floats on Broadway to fireworks lighting up the West Texas sky, Lubbock’s Fourth of July lineup offers something for everyone. Whether you’re staking out a spot along the parade route, spreading a blanket at the park, or tuning in from home, the Hub City is ready to celebrate in style.
