Our Roots Go Deep and We Celebrate Them in our Festivals
Fireworks Display
The City of Silsbee benefits from the generosity of Texas Fireworks Company as the Gardner family donates approximately $15,000 worth of fireworks for the Silsbee Volunteer Fire Department to help onlookers celebrate Independence Day and the New Year. This tradition has been running strong for over 20 years and each year the shows increase in brilliance and popularity. Since the date changes each year visit our Events Calendar for information on upcoming dates. |
