Addison Kaboom Town!® returns on Wednesday, July 3, and for hundreds of thousands of North Texans, the acclaimed fireworks show has become an annual tradition. The entire 4.4 square mile town turns out to celebrate, with watch parties virtually everywhere.
The big bash occurs annually in Addison Circle Park, where festive revelers turn out to enjoy live music, carnival rides, fabulous family fun and food with one of the best views around. This year’s Addison Circle Park watch party requires tickets, which can be purchased here.
However, Addison is home to more than 200 restaurants, many of which throw fabulous watch parties. And with more restaurants per capita than any other city in the U.S., there is certainly a party for every vibe.
