Lakeway Annual Fourth of July Parade
Beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, the City of Lakeway’s annual parade will follow its traditional route south along Lakeway Drive from Live Oak Golf Course to Lakeway Activity Center at Cross Creek.
This year’s theme is “Red * White * Blue & Golden,” celebrating 50 years of Lakeway. Awards will be presented after the parade at the Pageant of Flags. Parade entries will be judged on presentation of theme, creativity, patriotic emphasis, effort and instant impression. One entry will win “Best of Parade.”
Wherever you find yourself on the Fourth, make it safe, fun, and friendly.
