20 minutes of amazing FIREWORKS in the video below...

This year's Freedom Over Texas drew record-breaking crowd celebrating America's 250th year of Independence

Everything is bigger and better in Texas, and the Bayou City did not disappoint when it came to celebrating America's 250th birthday.

It was at Eleanor Tinsley Park, where we were serenaded by classics from Collective Soul and Los Lonely Boys. 

Then Keith Urban electrified the stage as the headliner for the night.

The cherry on top was the stunning fireworks show that was the biggest and longest in the Lone Star State.

I booked a parking lot through the app online and then bought the ticket also online. Festivities started at 3, I went quite later to avoid the blazing sun. Now on 2nd thoughts, wish I had been there sooner

My parking lot in the downtown had just 2 cars, LOL! and it was a 12 minute walk to the park

Football FIFA props on the way...

At the entrance to the park, some nice tankers, cars were on display

Collective soul was already on

set up my chair a little away from the stage to avoid high volume of sound.

Lead singer of Collective Soul, Ed Roland, brought out his niece, Eleven, to sing the band's hit song "December" 

Eleven is the daughter of Dean Roland, who is Ed's brother and Collective Soul's guitarist.

This couple got engaged!
