Addison, Texas -- As America gears up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, one of its most recognized Independence Day traditions is ready to take the spotlight. Addison Kaboom Town!®, frequently named one the top fireworks show in the country, returns Friday, July 3, 2026, transforming all 4.4 square miles of Addison, Texas, into a town-wide celebration.

The annual spectacular begins with a team of skydivers and continues with an array of historic warbirds and some of the country’s leading aerobatic performers.

Following a historic tribute including a salute to those who’ve served and a performance of the National Anthem, comes the big show!
