Carnival games will also be available for the duration of the event and patrons will enjoy live performances from the United States Air Force Band of the West and DJ Plata.

There will also be children’s activities set up near the playground under the pavilion with programming provided by the Little Read Wagon and H-E-B from 11 AM – 2 PM.

A few tips for patrons who are ready to celebrate:

Over 115 years ago, H-E-B opened their doors to help make the lives of hard-working Texans better and the tradition continues as the family-owned business supports another year of July 4^th festivities at Woodlawn. At 5 PM the Welcome Salute, presented by H-E-B, kicks off the evening program featuring distinguished guests, Bexar County Commissioners, and San Antonio City Council Members. The U.S. Air Force Band of the West brings their show-stopping energy to the stage for a live performance 7:30 PM – 9 PM followed by the H-E-B Fireworks Extravaganza! The beautiful fireworks display will begin at 9 PM with precision timing over Woodlawn Lake.
