FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Summer of 1776?
Summer of 1776 is Congressman Dan Crenshaw’s annual Independence Day Celebration and the most patriotic party in America. A salute to all the things that make America the greatest country on Earth to LIVE FREE AND PARTY: live music, fireworks, family games, swim activities, festive food, and ice-cold drinks.
This year, we’re bringing the celebration to Starshine Texas – a 25-acre outdoor, recreational venue located in the heart of Humble, Texas. Starshine is home to a hillside concert arena, a lake, picnic areas, a luxurious clubhouse, and a playground for children.
What to expect?
Doors open for General Admission ticket holders at 4:00pm. Enjoy the family-friendly games and swimming activities, food trucks, and cash bars with beer and patriotic refreshments available for purchase. Attendees may bring their own lawn chairs and shade umbrellas and claim a spot in one of the designated areas near the concert stage or utilize the limited number of first-come, first-serve picnic tables.
All General Admission areas are outdoors – shady areas, cooling misters, and tents will be around for folks who want a break from the Sun. VIP ticket holders will have access to the indoor clubhouse (see below for more information about VIP tickets).
The live concert begins at 5:30pm with our opening band (to be announced soon). At 7:00pm, chart-topping country music singer Chris Janson - with hit songs like “Buy Me A Boat”, “Good Vibes”, and “Fix A Drink” - takes the stage for an all-American show country music performance.
At 8:30pm, the epic fireworks show commences. Following the end of the fireworks show around 9:00pm, we will have a nighttime DJ show for everyone who wants to dance and keep the good times rolling!
What do VIP tickets include?
In addition to access to all General Admission areas, VIP ticketholders have access to the indoor, air-conditioned clubhouse with first-come, first-serve lounge and table seating, a catered buffet, a cash bar with premium beer, wine and cocktails, and clubhouse balcony views of the concert stage.
