Weekend of Jul 3 - Jul 5, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Oppressive Houston heat with highs of 96°F. Expect punchy 30% chance of isolated thunder-showers during the 4 PM cooling transition.

Westchase District safety patrols are intensified for the holiday weekend to monitor neighborhood firework compliance.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

CityCentre Independence Day Celebration

Saturday, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

"Avoids the massive congestion of downtown while offering a synchronized fireworks show and high-end dining options within walking distance of the lawn."

PRO TIP: Park in the Gessner Garage (Garage G) by 5:30 PM. After 6:30 PM, the Beltway 8 feeders become a gridlock and the garages will shift to 'Resident Only' or reach capacity.
