Putting the Freedom Over Texas fireworks show together begins two to three months out, Ithaca said. In that time, the team gets permits, works with the City of Houston to pick the music and design the show and transports the fireworks to Houston.

As the Fourth of July approaches, so does Houston’s biggest celebration: Shell Freedom Over Texas. The event will bring tens of thousands of people to Eleanor Tinsley Park along Allen Parkway. Attendees can look forward to music headlined by Grammy winner Ashley McBryde and multi-platinum country star Lee Brice.

The loss was just the fifth in the past 21 games for the Astros, who had won the first two games of the series.

The Astros are heavily favored (-286 on the moneyline) when they square off against the Rockies (+230). The Houston Astros will give the start to Brandon Walter (1-1, 3.34 ERA), who is looking for win No.
