When I was about 10 years old, I visited India for the second time. In Surat, my dad stopped by a…read morestreet vendor to buy fireworks. These were a little different than the whizz poppers and crotch thumpers and whatever else you buy at the local stand, and more like... gunpowder wrapped in newspaper, with a fuse attached. We set more than a few off over the next week, but as is always the case with fireworks everywhere, we had some leftovers as the trip wrapped up. My dad very firmly told me to leave them in my grandfather's care. But they were pretty good fireworks. So I decided to sneak the homemade street vendor gunpowder-fuse-paper things home, in my carry-on. I got as far as Singapore before an alert customs official confiscated them and low-key interrogated my dad. Fun times, that. -- In any case, Liberty is nothing like the shady third-world stand featured in this story. I ordered the "Liberty Assortment" - a $140 variety pack - from their website and picked her up two hours later. I was expecting a line, but they had about ten employees fielding online orders and I was in and out in about 23 seconds. Excepting a Twister Fountain that separated into two pieces and was unusable - my order was exactly as described and a provided suburb bang for the buck. Though lacking in gunpowder-fuse-paper balls, the assortment did include all sorts of stuff that had no business being set off in the middle of a city street, so that was nice.

We booked Liberty Fireworks for our church's 4th of July celebration, and they completely exceeded…read moreour expectations! The choreographed show with patriotic music added such a special touch and is worth the upgrade--it was truly a crowd favorite. The team was professional, kind, and easy to work with from start to finish. Setup and teardown were seamless. We're already planning to use them again next year and beyond. Highly recommend Liberty Fireworks! You can find a short clip of a drone shot of the show here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLtrn6uskNF/?igsh=YnBlYmdzanI4c3l3

First of all, where in the heck are the restrooms??? This event was held in Hemisfair Park and…read morethere were NO restrooms, porta potties, or otherwise. I asked someone where the restrooms were and they told me across the street at La Villita. I ran across the street, only to find the place deserted and the restrooms locked up. I ran to the nearest hotel and relieved myself there (inside the hotel restroom of course, not outside the hotel). Now that I've relieved myself, I'm back at the event in Hemisfair Park. Here are the things I liked: The entertainment on the main stage. I got to experience the dancing, the culture, and traditions of the Indian people. Lots of different dance performances happening all night on the main stage. They were all very well choreographed and fun to watch. There were plenty of Indian food booths and beer available. All of them took cash and credit cards - you don't have to stand in line to buy tickets and then stand in line again to buy food or drinks. Ya' gotta appreciate that folks. Then there's the dance floor in the middle of the park with an awesome DJ playing a mix of American and Indian tunes. This part was really fun, everyone was dancing and having a great time. Make sure you stay for the fireworks. Here are the things I didn't like: The crowds. It wasn't as bad as NIOSA, but it was still pretty crowded. The lines for the food booths weren't long, but it was difficult trying to determine who was in line, who was standing around, and who was just walking through. But pretty much any festival is this way I guess. And I think I mentioned this before... where in the heck are the restrooms???

Namaste! This San Antonio celebration is such a great way…read moreto take in San Antonio's Indian and Hindu heritage! Diwali is a huge celebration in India, and this evening-time celebration is a fantastic scene. Expect lots of beautiful colors, where local Indians bring out their brightest saris and coolest jewelry. They do some music, and dancing, so kick off them shoes and participate in some Bollywood dance numbers while you take in the lights and music of the subcontinent. They always have food trucks and local Indian community members serving up copious quantities of Briyani, curries and chutneys. Be sure to get some Lhassi, a yogurt drink. They've moved this festival around downtown a bunch since San Antonio started doing it- so check the Current if you're looking for the when and where. My favorite Diwali moment was when they had the celebration at the Hemisfair, and they sold cheap little boats with candles that celebrants launched into the fountains, and they did a laser light show to some Asha Bhosle music! Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna! Be sure to check out this annual celebration. It'll take you straight from San Antonio to Mumbai!

No, it would be about 6:30pm. Anyway, all the usual organizations were there hawking their wares and medals. KSAT was prominent with local celebrities mingling with the crowd. One food booth was selling mini tacos and a small cup of corn for $3.67 plus tax. The best food deal there. Beer was $10 for a 24-oz can. Not terrible. It was the weather that was miserable. Hot and muggy. No real shade to speak of. A few of those beer garden-type tall round can tables with an umbrella. Sweat was dripping off of me. The saving grace was we could use the indoor Alamodome restrooms. Many people were just staying inside, cooling down. So did I for a while. Despite all this, it's a nice event.

The entertainment can keep you going until the fireworks display to top off the evening.
