Get ready to celebrate America like its 1875! On July 6, 2024, Cowtown is celebrating America by throwing an old-fashioned Independence Day celebration. Typically, there is ice cream, hot dogs and hamburgers, a beer garden, carnival games, sack races, gunfights, live music, stilt-walkers, and more.
And what summer cowtown holiday would be complete without vintage baseball?
This is a special Independence Day celebration that will be fun for the whole family. I love going to Cowtown during events like these because there are usually a lot of re-enactors and activities on these days!
