All 3 Viewing Spots — Fort Worth, TX
Panther Island Pavilion main grounds (riverbank)
High crowd · Arrive by 8:00 PM · park · Free
Tents are allowed but MUST come down by 8 PM so they don't block other spectators when the water is cleared for the show; no coolers or outside food/drink (one sealed water bottle per person OK), so plan to buy on-site. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Coyote Drive-In (north of pavilion)
Medium crowd · park · Free
Bike or drive in via the Trinity Trails connection rather than fighting N. Main St traffic; the elevated drive-in lot northeast of the pavilion gives an unobstructed skyline-backed view away from the densest pavilion crowd. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Trinity Trails along the West Fork (downtown side)
Medium crowd · park · Free
The trail connection is open July 4 only from 5 PM-9:15 PM (and for exit until ~10:30 PM) while the rest of the Trinity Trails are closed July 3 10 PM-July 5 8 AM; walk/bike in before the 9:15 PM cutoff and you avoid all parking. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
