It’s almost here…the largest, most ‘speck’tacular fireworks display on the Gulf Coast! Saturday, July 4th, will be one of Port O’Connor’s busiest days of the year, with visitors arriving from all over Texas to view the most amazing display of lights over the Matagorda Bay. Views are breathtaking, whether seen from the land or from your own boat on the bay. Don Haynes, Fireworks Chairperson, and the Alpha Lee Fireworks crew, will be working hard all day to ensure everything is set up correctly, with safety being his first priority.
Along with not only a fantastic show of fireworks from the end of the pier, there will be craft and food vendors at King Fisher Park from 10:00 am – 9:00 pm. Some of the crafts will include clothing, jewelry, handcrafted pens, personalized rings, purses and logo items. There will be plenty of refreshments available, including snow cones, barbecue, funnel cakes, fried oreo’s, corn dogs and much more. Make sure to get there early, bring your blankets, chairs, sunscreen and spend the day at the beach!! Make it a fun filled family day on the water!! The fireworks show will be again about dusk.

Port O’Connor has hosted this show for 47 years, with this being one of the Chamber’s most featured events. Funds for the fireworks depend solely upon donations from our Chamber members, local business, residents and visitor’s to Port O’Connor. Our goal for this year’s show is $28,000. We need YOUR support to make this happen. Please drop your change in our drop boxes at local business’.
