2027 July 4th season dates and hours
Jun 24, 2027 to Jul 4, 2027, straight from our store schedule. All 10 NyTex stores across North Texas are open for the season, including our McKinney superstore. Find your nearest store.
Shop early in the window
Sales start June 24. The best selection is the first weekend; by July 3 the popular 500-gram cakes are gone. If you want a specific item, call ahead and we will hold it. The McKinney superstore carries our widest range.
What to buy for a crowd
A party of 20 or more wants a 20-minute show with a loud finale. Build around two or three 500-gram cakes, an artillery kit per 5 minutes, and fountains to cover reloads. Our backyard show planner has clearances and budgets.
Red, white and blue effects are everywhere in July. Our staff can point you to cakes with crackle and strobe finishes that photograph better than solid color.
Heat and dry grass
July in Texas means dry grass and possible burn bans. Wet down the launch area and 20 feet around it before you start. Check your county the morning of the Fourth; bans can be issued late. Most cities, including McKinney, Frisco, Plano and Allen, do not allow fireworks at all; see where you can shoot in Collin County and Texas fireworks laws.
