San Antonio is gearing up for a packed Independence Day weekend, with tens of thousands expected to attend celebrations across the city, including fireworks shows, festivals, concerts, and family-friendly events.

The city’s official Fourth of July celebration will take place at Woodlawn Lake Park from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, featuring live entertainment, family activities, carnival rides, food vendors, and a fireworks show celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
One of the biggest draws is expected to be Ye’s concert at the Alamodome. City officials told KSAT that many ticket buyers are from outside the Bexar County metropolitan area.
