How Shell Freedom Over Texas will go on amid COVID-19
While many events are falling victim to the COVID-19 closures, there are some other options for the Fourth of July.

LEAGUE CITY, Texas (KTRK) -- It was to be a traditional event with a different look this year, but it won't happen.

League City's Fireworks Extravaganza and Citizen Appeciation Day Caravan have been canceled.

The annual Fourth of July celebration had to be scrapped after Gov. Greg Abbott's June 26 executive order that limits outdoor gatherings of 100 people or more.

The festival was supposed to be a drive-in event at Clear Creek ISD's Challenger Columbia Stadium.
