As most of us may know by now, it's going to be hard to find a place to watch fireworks in Central Texas this Independence Day.
Here's a list of fireworks shows in towns and cities from San Antonio to Waco that are "all systems go" (yes, there's still a small glimmer of hope), and the ones that fizzled out because of dry weather conditions and crowd concerns:
San Antonio-Canceled, but there will be festivities.
San Marcos-Canceled, but still having their annual 4th of July celebration, Summerfest.
New Braunfels-Canceled
Bastrop-Canceled
