Independence day is quickly approaching and it’s time to break out the Old Navy American flag t-shirt your mom got you. Austin is the perfect city to celebrate our country’s independence this Fourth of July. Live music, fireworks, outdoor activities, barbeques, and fun are what Austin does best. Make sure to enjoy the day with your friends and check out some local festivities.
