Fourth of July Parade
One of the oldest July 4th celebrations in Texas.
Round Top town square
Round Top throws one of the oldest continuously-running Fourth of July celebrations west of the Mississippi — a genuine small-town parade down the square, with all the flags, fire trucks, candy, and community spirit you could want. It's Americana at its most heartfelt.
It's the perfect anchor for a summer weekend at the ranch: parade in the morning, pond and porch in the afternoon, fireflies and a fire ring at night.
What to expect
- A classic small-town July 4th parade
- Flags, floats, and community spirit on the square
- Summer-weekend energy across the area
- Easy pairing with a ranch stay
Plan it right
Get to the square early for a shady curb spot, then retreat to the ranch for the hot part of the day — the pond and the porch are the best seats in the county.
