Labor Day Fireworks
All summer long South Padre Island hosts a quick fireworks display near the end of each weekend.

Instead of the weekly celebration, you will find a full fireworks display planned. Come see the incredible showcase of lights and colors as the fireworks shoot up into the sky. The fireworks are shot off right next to the ocean so you can see the reflection dazzling on top of the water. The fireworks will take place at 9:15 PM at 211 W Whiting St. Find any spot along the coast for the best viewing spot on South Padre Island!
