Event Description

Happy birthday, USA! Join the Children's Museum of Houston as we throw a party for the nation at our Stars and Stripes Celebration! We will have various patriotic activities as well as a special rocket salute for our wonderful country.

All-day activities include:

Independence Day Fireworks: The 4th of July is a perfect day to celebrate with fireworks. Stop by and make pretend fireworks that you can play with any day!

Stars and Stripes Patriotic Artwork: Design your very own red, white and blue creation to take home!

Patriotic Star Decorations: Each of the 50 stars on the flag represents each state that belongs to the United States. Make a star-studded decoration to celebrate the nation.

Eagle Decoration: Did you know that the bald eagle is the only eagle unique to North America? Celebrate our national bird by decorating a bald eagle of your own!

Special performances:
21-Balloon Rocket Salute: Our national salute is a 21-gun salute. We will tell our country �Happy Birthday� with a not-so-traditional 21 balloon rocket salute instead!
