The annual Fourth of July spectacular is returning to Southlake Town Square.
This year’s edition of Stars and Stripes will feature “patriotic fun” July 3 in various locations throughout the shopping center, one year after COVID-19 downsized the tradition to a virtual one.
With fireworks launching from the west parking garage, viewing positions include Rustin Pavilion, McPherson Park and Frank Edgar Cornish IV Park, according to the event’s website.

Robin Cornish was at work in the fall of 2018 when she got a text message from another parent. It was a link to a video showing several white high school students laughing as they filmed themselves shouting the N-word at a party.
One of the students in the video had shared it on Snapchat, and now it was going viral.
Cornish, a 51-year-old Black mother of five, recognized the girl leading the chant as the younger sibling of one of her son’s former friends. Cornish was upset as she watched the 8-second clip, she said, but she wasn’t surprised.
