We found cheap last-minute Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic tickets
The Red Headed Stranger has quite an Independence Day planned this year.
On Friday, July 4, Willie Nelson is headlining his annual '4th of July Picnic.' This year, the celebration is set to take place at Austin, TX's Germania Insurance Amphitheater.
He'll be joined by special guests Bob Dylan, The Avett Brothers, The Mavericks, Asleep at the Wheel and Tami Neilson. Festivities begin at 3:30 p.m.
'I'm 92-years-old and I'll be there so you have no excuse,' Nelson said in a statement. 'I look forward to bringing back my annual 4th of July Picnic to the city I love and sharing this special event with all my Austin fans.'
Last July 4, Set List FM reports the 'On The Road Again' singer performed a whopping 22 songs in New Jersey. Highlights included 'Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,' 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die' and his Hank Williams 'I Saw The Light' cover.
Pretty impressive for someone born in 1933.
'I'm not worried about [my health],' Nelson told the Associated Press. 'I don't feel bad. I don't hurt anywhere. I don't have any reason to worry about dying. But I don't know anybody who's lived forever.'
If you want to see the 12-time Grammy winner and Abbot, TX native play live in the Lone Star State's 'weirdest' city, last-minute tickets are still available.
Some are quite inexpensive, too.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we found on general admission lawn passes was $57.02 including fees.
Seats can be scooped up for as low as $107 including fees.

Wawa Welcome America on Fourth of July will go on as planned despite Philadelphia municipal workers strike
Wawa Welcome America still on despite strike in Philadelphia Wawa Welcome America still on despite strike in Philadelphia Wawa Welcome America still on despite strike in Philadelphia The stage is being built, and it's calm before the concert. Come Friday, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia will be packed for the Wawa Welcome America concert and fireworks spectacular. "Philadelphia owns this day, it's really important to our residents and community, but also a time that visitors enjoy being in Philadelphia," Angela Val, the president and CEO of Visit Philadelphia, said. In the middle of all the fun, District Council 33, Philadelphia's largest municipal workers' union, is on strike. Visit Philadelphia said its responsibility is to make sure visitors know what's going on in the city. "We have said to everyone is that it is the right to strike, and that we ask for people's patience, and let them know that Welcome America is still happening. And that hotels, restaurants and are still open," Val said. The concert and fireworks celebration attract people from all over. The city wants residents and visitors to know the party on the Parkway will go on. "We will be on the Parkway all day on the Fourth of July. All Fourth of July festivities will go on," Mayor Cherelle Parker said. Parker spoke at a press conference in West Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon. She said the city has contingency plans in place to manage the strike changes. "I think that kind of plan really gives people the confidence that they can come here to the city and still enjoy themselves, even though there may be a strike going on," Val said. Val said she, too, wants people to know that the Wawa Welcome America is still happening and it's safe to come downtown. "Two things can be true at once," Val said. "We can have some of the city strike, and we can still have a good time and go about our lives," she said.

Jackie and Shadow's eaglets at risk from Fourth of July fireworks, petition says
The California group that oversees a famous eagle family is warning officials about the danger fireworks could cause the new eaglets ahead of Fourth of July. Nonprofit organization Friends of Big Bear Valley, which runs a 24-hour live feed monitoring the eagles, expressed concerns about an upcoming fireworks display in Big Bear Lake, California. In a Facebook post Monday, June 30, the group emphasized the impact that fireworks have on the environment and wildlife, including sister eaglets Gizmo and Sunny and their parents Jackie and Shadow. The organization also highlighted a petition with more than 30,000 signatures calling for the outright cancelation of the July 4 firework show to protect the family and other wildlife. "The loud and frightening explosions of fireworks can spook [eagles], causing them to flee their nests, potentially into situations fraught with danger," the petition said. "This not only jeopardizes their immediate safety but could also lead to them leaving the area permanently, which would be a tragic loss for our community." The Friends of Big Bear Valley explained that Sunny and Gizmo are specifically at risk after just learning to fly. "Shadow and Jackie leaving at this time of training and growth for Sunny and Gizmo could be especially devastating to the juveniles' long and short-term development and chances of survival," Friends of Big Bear Valley wrote on Facebook. "Eagles and especially juveniles have very poor night vision and being startled into flight at night is very dangerous." Their petition added that eagles don't naturally fly after dark. "We will be holding high hope for the safety of Jackie, Shadow, Sunny and Gizmo and all the rest of nature's beautiful creatures," Friends of Big Bear Valley wrote. "Please join me in hoping for their safety and protection." Firework show to continue amid concerns Despite concerns for wildlife, Visit Big Bear will continue to host its 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular in the city. Visit Big Bear CEO Travis Scott emphasized that its role is to balance and prioritize tradition, community celebration, wildlife stewardship and the tourism-driven local economy "The board looked at what that firework show [brought] to support our local businesses, our restaurants, our lodging and just overall jobs in our community," Scott told the Palm Desert Sun, part of the USA TODAY Network. The town generally attracts 100,000 visitors for the Fourth of July and numerous community organizations are involved in the 4th of July Spectacular, according to Scott. He added that local partners and government agencies help organize the fireworks shows with "wildlife and fire safety in mind." "What makes Big Bear Lake a special place is our rich, diverse ecosystem and obviously our resident bald eagles have become the iconic symbol of that," Scott said. "What our organization strives to look at is that they're a part of a larger natural balance that we work hard to respect year-round and we do promote environmental education and stewardship and that is also very important to us. The co-existence of the fireworks and the eagles is not a new phenomenon." Scott described two previous instances in which he said they've worked with Friends of Big Bear Valley: Canceling Memorial Day fireworks in 2022 and doing a drone show instead of fireworks for Labor Day in 2023. "I believe that the board and the community will take these concerns that are presented from outside our community under advisement," Scott said in response to whether any changes would be made to future fireworks displays in the area. Jackie and Shadow disappeared for days in previous years Friends of Big Bear Valley attached a presentation to their Facebook post that documented previous instances of how the eagles have responded to fireworks. Following Fourth of July fireworks in 2022, Jackie and Shadow weren't seen or heard for six days. The mating pair were also not seen or heard for three days after Fourth of July fireworks the following year, according to Friends of Big Bear Valley. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service echoed Friends of Big Bear Valley over how fireworks can cause wildlife to flee, "ending up in unexpected areas or roadways, flying into buildings and other obstacles." Who are Sunny and Gizmo? Sunny and Gizmo were two of three hatchlings born to Jackie and Shadow in March 2025. A third eaglet, named Misty in honor of a former volunteer, died after a snowstorm hit the area. But Jackie and Shadow have been able to make sure Sunny and Gizmo are healthy and happy. Both sisters completed their first flights last month. Paris Barraza is a trending reporter covering California news at The Desert Sun.
