Houston loves to have a good time, and July 4th is no exception.

Though we should be in for good weather this holiday, bad weather wouldn't stop the city from marching forth with its Independence Day celebrations - though you can't pop fireworks just anywhere in town.

Since Houston has fireworks bans in place across the city, your best bet is to check out one of the events organized by the communities around town.

Take a look at the gallery above for the July 4th celebrations going on in the Houston area this weekend.

Luckily, Houston has had a pretty mild summer so far, with temperatures holding steady in the mid 90s. Even so, make sure to bring your sunscreen and hats, and drink plenty of water as you're enjoying America's birthday.
