As it has with all events, the coronavirus pandemic has taken its toll on this year's Fourth of July celebrations around Dallas-Fort Worth. The vast majority of events have either fully canceled or called off the portions that would involve people gathering together in one place.

Fortunately for fireworks lovers, there will still be a few explosive shows to enjoy from a safe distance. Check out the list below for full details on what each event plans to do in this uncommon year.

Fort Worth: The festival portion of Fort Worth's Fourth at Panther's Island Pavilion has been canceled, but the fireworks will still be launched on July 4. The community is asked to watch the fireworks from the comfort of their home, backyard, or balcony. There will not be vehicular access to areas near the venue. The show will be larger and taller this year so it can be seen from a distance. Residents can tune into 95.9 FM The Ranch to listen to the music choreographed to the fireworks show.

Arlington: While Light Up Arlington was canceled, the city will launch fireworks from Globe Life Field on July 3 at 9:30 pm. Texas Rangers Lots B, C, F, M and N, Dallas Cowboys Lot 4, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor parking lots, and Arlington Convention Center parking lot will be open for viewing. Social distancing and masks are encouraged. Viewers can tune in to 95.9 FM The Ranch for a music simulcast.

Frisco: The annual Frisco Freedom Fest has been canceled, but the city will still launch fireworks from Toyota Stadium at 9:30 pm on July 4. Four FC Dallas parking lots - the Tundra Platinum, Camry Gold Lot, Corolla Red Lots, and Highlander Green Lots - will be available to the public for viewing.

Colleyville: The city will hold its annual Stars and Guitars as usual on June 26, but with a different look due to the social distancing guidelines. The event will now be held at at Colleyville City Park and attendees are encouraged to tailgate or bring blankets and/or lawn chairs to enjoy music by DJ KB and fireworks.There will also be food trucks on site. An FM station will be designated to listen to the music in cars if you prefer, and with the city saying it will not enforce Tarrant County's recent requirement of face masks, staying in your car might be the best choice if you choose to attend.

Dallas: Klyde Warren Park's annual Independence Day celebration on June 27, has been canceled in the interest of public safety. A fireworks display will be visible that evening, as a limited number of frontline healthcare workers and their families are invited to the recording of a KTVT-CBS 11 television special in their honor. In partnership with the City of Dallas, a Fireworks Salute to Healthcare Heroes will be recorded that evening and broadcast to the community at 9:30 pm on Saturday, July 4.

Addison: Due to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in Dallas County, officials have decided to move the fireworks of Kaboom Town out of the city to an undisclosed location. They will livestream the show on Addison’s You Tube Channel on July 3 at 9:30 pm and on CW33 on July 4. The watch party at Addison Circle Park had previously been canceled.

Allen: While Market Street Allen USA at Celebration Park in Allen on June 29 was canceled, the city will present Spirit in the Sky, a 25-minute show launched from the corner of W. Exchange Parkway and N. Watters Road. The show, taking place on July 3 at 9:30 pm, will use larger shells that will deploy higher in the sky, ensuring the fireworks can be seen from at least one mile away.
