(Seguin) — There will be plenty of Backyard Shenanigans happening during this year’s 2024 KWED Freedom Fiesta. Among the experiences being hosted will be a game night featuring Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers. Gamers will get to experience interactive fun on large outdoor movie screens.
Backyard Shenanigans, one of Seguin’s newest inflatable and gaming businesses, says it jumped at the chance of being part of the Fourth of July celebration. The business is owned by Kyle Dwyer. This year’s celebration runs from 6 to 11 p.m. Saturday in Central Park
This year’s Freedom Fiesta will be equipped with even more holiday fun for local children. Returning will be a street lined with inflatable jumpy houses. Again returning for its third straight year is H&R Party Rentals. The bound house play area will include slides, obstacle courses, and bull riding. The cost for unlimited play is $10 per child. Parents are encouraged to dress their children in socks as they are encouraged for the equipment.
Also returning for their 10th plus year will be Super Awesome Balloon Animals out of San Antonio. Face painting will also be available for kids to sport their individual imagination.
Toy vendors will also be on site this Saturday.
Of course, the featured event designed specifically for kids is the annual Kiddie Parade. The parade is a non-partisan parade around Central Park hosted by the Guadalupe County Republican Women. The event is free and gets underway at 6 p.m.
The parade is the official kickoff for Freedom Fiesta festivities.

Two top prizes will be given in each of the three categories being judged. Those categories including walking/strolling; bikes, scooters, skateboards and motorized vehicles.
