Music kicks off at noon with AJ Castillo, known for blending Tejano, Cumbia, and Latin Pop with high-energy accordion wizardry, will take the stage around 4:45 PM. If you’ve never seen him live, this is your chance—and yes, it’s totally free with admission. The concert is presented by Maximum Power, with help from Pollard and Temple Electric.

When Do the Fireworks Start?

Then, as the sun sets and the s’mores settle in, a massive fireworks display will launch at 10:00 PM, illuminating the lake and sky in true West Texas style. If you’ve never seen fireworks reflect off the water--this is your chance!

Awesome 98 (98.1) will have the patriotic music to go along with the show too! You can even listen on your free app or right here!
