The City of Lewisville will hold a special multi-act concert event and fireworks show at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, 150 W. Church Street, on Tuesday, July 4. “Sounds of Red, White & Lewisville” is free to the public.
The Independence Day festivities begin at 4 p.m. with the opening of the Lewisville Farmers Market. At 4:15 p.m., Rhythm N’ Boots of the 36th Infantry Division Band, will take to the Lone Star Toyota Stage with an hour-long, patriotic performance.
Abbi Walker, a fast–rising Texas Country singer will keep the party going when she takes the stage at 5:45 p.m. This wild-eyed, big dreaming, fourth generation preacher’s daughter will belt out several original hits that feature southern rock, traditional country and Walker’s own brand of Southern Soul.
The headliner for this special concert event, Petty Theft, will begin around 8 p.m. Since 2003, this Dallas-based Tom Petty Tribute Band has entertained huge crowds with an unwavering devotion to the music of Tom Petty in all its forms – with the Heartbreakers, as a solo act and with the Traveling Wilburys.
The day’s events wrap up with a dazzling, colorful fireworks show from Old Town beginning around 9:30 p.m.
