Lakeway is a great city and is full of patriotism.  The city hosts a great July 4th parade and a nice fireworks show later in the Lakeway City Park.  The parade this year will be on Saturday, July 3.  It starts at the Live Oak Golf Club and ends at the Lakeway Activity Center.  The Lakeway July 4th parade typically has well over 100 entries ranging from groups walking to colorfully decorated flatbed trailers to vintage automobiles that almost never make their way outside of their owner’s garages.

Lakeway 4th of July parade

Festivities at the park start at 6:00 PM.  Parking is limited so the city will have free busses running from the Emmaus Catholic Church and Lakeway Elementary School to the waterfront park.  There will be food available from Buster’s BBQ, Papa Murphy’s Pizza and more vendors.  There will be giant inflatables for the kids and music for everyone to enjoy.

The fireworks show starts at 9:30.  The shuttles will run people back to the church and school after the fireworks show.
