Flower Mound Independence Fest 2026

We’re thrilled to announce the headliner of Independence Fest 2026 is multi-platinum star Gabby Barrett! You might know seven-times platinum “I Hope,” three-times platinum “The Good Ones,” and her current single “The Easy Part.” With more than three-billion global career streams and performances on some of the hottest country tours, including Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, and Brooks & Dunn, Gabby is bringing her star power to our epic celebration of America’s 250th birthday!

Come celebrate with a bag of red white and blue kettle corn from Big D Kettle Corn. Independence Fest 2026 featuring Gabby Barrett is on Saturday, July 4. The all-day celebration kicks off with the annual Children’s Parade with kids’ activities, face painting, live entertainment, and free hot dogs. Then, the party continues at Bakersfield Park (1201 Duncan Ln.) with hours of live entertainment on the main stage, including crowd favorites Emerald City Band and Le Freak to warm up the stage ahead of Gabby Barrett. You can also enjoy tasty food trucks, exciting vendor booths, a classic car show, and kids’ zone. Of course, the evening will be capped off with our biggest and best firework show ever to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
