TEXARKANA, Texas - The city of Wake Village hosted America's 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 
The Fourth of July festival has become an annual event in King Park. 
 
The fireworks show was free to all spectators. 
 
"It's a great family atmosphere, This has been in the works for months," said Wake Village police Sgt. Chris Cobb. "We've got food trucks and vendors and we've got a lot of different things going on, live music, DJ, so everybody's out just having a good time, enjoying the nice weather as well, because the heat finally gave us a little break after the rain came through, so, it looks like it's going to be a wonderful night for a fireworks show."
 
Red River Credit Union is the sponsor of this year's celebration.
