Fireworks with a View
The official H-E-B Symphony Fireworks show at Auditorium Shores is a staple, but those in-the-know head to rooftop bars like P6 at The LINE Hotel or—better yet—that one friend of a friend of a friend with a boat and an unbeatable lake view.
BBQ + Banana Pudding
Terry Black’s is a must. Go for the brisket, stay for the banana pudding (our personal fav)! Pre-orders for the 4th are also open on their site!
Dive Bars & Honky Tonks
After the fireworks, the night’s just starting. Make it a dive tour: Donn’s Depot (where even Dua Lipa stopped by last year), Nickel City, and Deep Eddy Cabaret are a few of our personal favorites.
Willie’s Picnic
The Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic at Germania Insurance Amphitheater features a star-studded lineup and post-show fireworks — a Texas-size way to celebrate.
rodeo nights
Since 1924, Livingston Roundup Rodeo has brought all the Americana energy you could ask for — bull riding, fireworks, and a full town celebration.
cookout at sage lodge
Sage Lodge offers a laid-back luxury experience with lawn games, live music, and mountain views. Add a private chef or whiskey tasting for that extra Montana touch.
float the yellowstone
Beat the heat with a river float — pack a cooler, call your crew, and let the Yellowstone carry you into the long weekend.
