Individuals, teams, families, businesses, or any group or organization are welcome to submit their ideas. The theme must be family-friendly and accompanied by a 150- to 300-word essay explaining its relevance to the local, patriotic spirit of AquaBoom.
Winners will be announced on April 5. Cash prizes are $250 for first place, $150 for second, and $50 for third.
Submissions may be made on the AquaBoom website. You can also download a submission form and mail it to Kingsland AquaBoom, P.O. Box 1624, Kingsland, TX 78639.
The Independence Day festival takes place in and around the community of Kingsland on Lake LBJ. Several days of parades, music, tournaments, pageants, and entertainment are capped off by fireworks on July 4.
“The only thing our community loves more than celebrating (Independence Day) is sharing it with others,” reads a statement from AquaBoom. “We extend a warm Texas welcome as we pull out all the stops in honoring this great nation we live in, and the men, women, and families who have graciously sacrificed to ensure we continue to have something to celebrate.”
