On July 4, the City of Carrollton will put on a fabulous fireworks show starting at 9:30 p.m. at Josey Ranch Lake. The 15-minute show will feature a variety of fireworks of all shapes, sizes and colors. It is not an onsite event, which means you won't have to worry about fighting through the crowds this Fourth of July!

To help you make the most of your holiday celebration, we’ve prepared a list of must-have Fourth of July food.

American Flag Pizza

For a win-win fun family food, go with the American flag pizza. It’s easy to make, colorful and tasty! All you need is dough, tomatoes, spinach and some mozzarella cheese. Create the stars and white stripes by using the mozzarella cheese, then use the tomatoes to create the red stripes. When you’re done designing, pop your flag pizza in the oven, and bake it accordingly.
