Looking for a quintessentially Texan July 4th celebration? Kerrville offers up a worthy contender with Robert Earl Keen’s Fourth on the River. Held annually at Louise Hays Park on the Guadalupe River, the free event opens at 2 p.m. with the music starting at 4 p.m. Four acts take the stage, including Bruce Robison at 6:30 p.m. and Keen—a Kerrville resident himself—at 8 p.m., followed by a fireworks show at 9:30 p.m. Along with music, the event offers food and drink vendors, as well as children’s attractions like face-painting and bounce houses. And if you get too hot, you can jump in the river.
