For thousands of Central Texans, a highlight of July Fourth is the annual fireworks and symphony concert held every year on Auditorioum Shores.

This is the 33rd annual concert hosted by HEB and the Austin Symphony Orchestra. It's one of the largest fireworks displays in Texas.

Live canons from the Texas National Guard Salute Battery will punctuate the music and pyrotechnics.

The event takes place Saturday night, with the symphony performing at 8:30. The fireworks follow at about 9:30.
