Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday at Leander’s Liberty Fest!

This year’s Liberty Fest is more than just Leander’s annual Independence Day tradition—it’s a historic celebration marking the 250th birthday of the United States.

As America commemorates its Semiquincentennial, the City of Leander is inviting the community to gather for one of its biggest celebrations yet on Friday, July 3, from 6–10 p.m. at Devine Lake Park. This annual community favorite is getting an extra patriotic spotlight this year as we celebrate 250 years of independence, freedom, and the spirit that continues to unite us.

Liberty Fest has become one of Leander’s most anticipated traditions, bringing together families, friends, and neighbors for an evening filled with live entertainment, family fun, delicious food, and a spectacular fireworks finale. And this year’s expanded celebration makes it the perfect way to honor America’s milestone birthday.
