(Seguin) — Seguin’s celebrations for Independence Day will kick off on Saturday, June 29, with Freedom Fiesta and the Patriotic Concert on Sunday, June 30.
KWED will be hosting Freedom Fiesta in Central Park from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 29. The event will feature live music by Texas country music artist Brandon Michael.
Michael has performed alongside country music stars including Shenandoah, Kyle Park, and Craig Campbell. Other music will be provided by DJ D’Trayne who will be playing music near a new addition to the event – video games played on large screens.
After the National Anthem and presentation of the colors, the Guadalupe County Republican Women will kick off the festival with the Kiddie Parade. All families are invited to dress in red, white, and blue and ride their bikes and wagons through Central Park as part of the parade.
The park will also have over 20 food trucks and food booths plus multiple vendors providing something for everyone to enjoy.
You are invited to come back out to Central Park on Sunday, June 30 for the Central Park Summer Concert Series presented by Niagara Bottling. The concert will feature the San Antonio Symphonic Band performing patriotic tunes.
The all-volunteer band, under the direction of Alfred Tapia, has been performing since 1986 and has been closing out the Central Park Summer Concert Series for over a decade.
This annual concert has been a crowd favorite.
Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the concert.
There will be food trucks selling sandwiches, snow cones, and more, as well as baked goods being sold by the Girl Scouts and Agua Frescas being sold by Teatro de Artes de Juan Seguin.
The concert series would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, including presenting sponsor Niagara Bottling, LLC. and additional sponsors Alamo Group, Anders Pierce Realty, CMC Steel Texas, Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, GVEC, The Koehler Company, Seguin Electric Company, Starcke Furniture, Tri-County A/C & Heating LLC, and City of Seguin Main Street Program.
