About This Event

Fourth of July in Dallas County

The Fourth of July is one of the highest-arrest weekends in Dallas County, with enforcement spanning DWI operations, fireworks-related weapons charges, and public intoxication at citywide celebrations. Dallas Police runs no-refusal DWI operations throughout the holiday weekend, with focused patrols near Fair Park’s fireworks show, the Addison Kaboom Town event, and lake recreation areas around White Rock Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard. Unlawful discharge of firearms on July 4th night generates weapons charges across South Dallas, Pleasant Grove, and Oak Cliff neighborhoods. Public intoxication arrests spike at block parties, backyard gatherings that spill into public spaces, and at organized fireworks viewing areas.
