Celebrate Independence Day at Bayou Bend! With its unique blend of American history and the arts, Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens is the perfect place to salute American freedom in style. Bayou Bend’s annual 4th of July festival offers up an extravaganza of Americana: performances, crafts, activities, refreshments, and more. Enjoy a reading of the Declaration of Independence - followed by a lemonade toast - twice during the afternoon. Don’t forget to sign the giant copy of the document before you leave.
