TYLER, Texas — The annual Fourth of July fireworks show at Lindsey Park returns this year.
Vendors set up early as people got ready to dive into some food, fireworks and a lot of fun.
Ted Kamel, a vendor in Tyler, says he’s been coming to the Fourth of July event at Lindsey Park for 24 years now.
"It's more than just coming out here and cooking and serving food. And you know, and it's also a way to celebrate our nation," Kamel said.
Tyler Parks and Rec spokesperson Kandice Johnson said they have 10 food vendors and about seven shop vendors at this year's celebration.
This event will also feature a kid zone with games for families to enjoy. Also a live DJ will be performing under the pavilion where people can dance and enjoy the music.
"For us helping put this event on it means a lot to us when we get to showcase our park here at Lindsey Park. But also we're in the business of creating memories and just special time for families," Johnson said.
Johnson said there is no alcohol allowed at the parks. The firework show is set to begin around 9 p.m.
