Annual Patriotic Festival
Saturday, July 2, 2005

The 2005 Patriotic Festival was held at Fisherman’s Park on July 2, 2005. The Austin Symphonic Band returned for another wonderful performance prior to and during the outstanding fireworks display. Despite record heat, another large appreciative crowd attended. The festival this year also included arts & crafts, live music, lots of great food and games.

The final draft of the Declaration of Independence was adopted July 4, 1776, and Independence Day has been the chief American patriotic holiday ever since. The Patriotic Festival in Bastrop is celebrated the first Saturday in July each year. Pictures of the Fireworks Display follow with excerpts from the Declaration of Independence. -photos by Neil R.
