FireworksMayor Annise D. Parker needs you to help Houston lead Texas in celebrating our nation’s birthday!  The Mayor’s Official Fourth of July Celebration, Freedom Over Texas with Fireworks Presented by Shell, will bring thousands of people into the heart of Houston for food, fun, and fireworks!  The event will be simulcast by our friends at ABC 13.  To help put Houston’s best foot forward, we need your help as event volunteers.  Assignments can include assisting as festival greeters or tending any of the many booths that make up the festival’s infrastructure.  In return for their time, volunteers will be treated to world-class entertainment, free parking, excellent prize drawings, great refreshments, and  a dazzling fireworks display. We hope to see you on the 4th!
