What is Summer of 1776 Festival? 

Congressman Dan Crenshaw’s EPIC Independence Day party is BACK by popular demand. This year, we’re bringing the celebration of our great country to Starshine Texas Ranch– a 25-acre outdoor, recreational venue located inside the beltway in Houston, TX. Starshine is home to a hillside concert arena, a lake, picnic areas, a luxurious clubhouse, and a playground for kids.

Join us for fireworks, , slip n’ slides, water activities, beach volleyball, mechanical bull riding, inflatable axe throwing, and a live concert featuring country music star Chris Janson (with hits like “Good Vibes” , “Buy Me a Boat”, & “Fix a Drink”) and rising singer/songwriter Shane Profitt.  All ages welcome.

Provided is a large field in front of the stage where you’re free to set up lawn chairs, umbrellas, and picnic blankets to enjoy the concert and firework show .

Doors open for General Admission ticket holders at 6:00pm. Enjoy the family-friendly games, food truck options, and cash bars with beer and patriotic refreshments available for purchase.
