American Heartlands & Dusty Reins Stories
Crazy Horse Monument

Since 1888, Canadian, visitors and locals have kicked their July Fourth weekend off right with the "Best Fourth of July Parade in Texas." The town hosts a watermelon feed, a Fourth of July parade, and an annual turtle race. Throughout the weekend, the oldest public rodeo in the world kicks off. Stay through the evening for live music, dining and shopping, and the best little fireworks show in Texas. (Canadian Chamber Of Commerce)

Celebration events during 2024 included three pro rodeos, a parade, turtle racing, chicken poop bingo, and water polo.

I documented some public events during the celebrations in 2016 but returned in 2024 with many more videos you can watch below.

You may see several events on the same day. I can only pick one to go next depending on where I was located during the prior event I attended. Fuel is expensive these days!
