The 250th birthday of the United States of America is fast approaching, and Bertram plans on celebrating with a boom.
Hosted by the Bertram Volunteer Fire Department, the city’s Independence Day event promises an evening of games, music, and fireworks will burst into action beginning at 8 p.m. on July 4 at the Bertram Baseball Fields, located at 549 E. FM 243.
“Please join us for a fun, family evening of spectacular fireworks,” reads the event’s Facebook promotion. “Bring your lawn chairs and blankets for the firework display that will begin at dark. We look forward to seeing you and your family and friends on the 4th of July!!”
Bertram has hosted a Fourth of July fireworks show each year for more than a decade, with a brief hiatus in 2024 due to construction at the baseball fields. The event has historically been backed by dozens of local businesses and by donations from community members to help bring the patriotic party to life.
