“The Governor’s Strike Force to Open Texas updated guidelines allow for Hood County to celebrate our Nation’s birthday with a Hometown July 4^th Celebration,” says Mike Scott, President & CEO of the Granbury Chamber of Commerce.  “The resiliency of our small businesses depends on their ability to serve the community.  This year, we will have locally-owned merchants and eateries on the Square on Friday and Saturday, along with a scaled-down local parade.  Fireworks will light up the sky in grand-fashion, starting around 9:45PM on the fourth. This is a local celebration that Hood County residents, merchants, eateries, and drinkeries overwhelmingly support, and the chamber is proud to partner in making it happen.” 

Starting Friday at noon, local Hood County merchants, artisans and food/beverage vendors will fill pop-up vendor spaces on the Granbury Square.  All vendors will be locally-owned and operated, for-profit businesses.  The Chamber is also planning live music for Friday evening, on the square.

The Annual 4^th of July Parade is scheduled to leave Granbury High School at 10:00AM, arriving at the Granbury Square close to 10:30AM. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, absolutely NO items may be thrown, handed-out, and/or distributed throughout the festivities.

Starting around 9:45PM, Extreme Pyrotechnics will once again display their amazing show that may be seen in a large portion of the County.  The Granbury Chamber of Commerce thanks the following sponsors: H-E-B, Visit Granbury, City of Granbury, Hood County, Exelon, First Financial Bank, Lake Granbury Medical Center, Lakeside Physicians, Cheerful Heart Gifts & Boutique, LA Services, Vintage Floors, Streeter Electric, A+ Roofing & Construction, and Quail Park.
