Texas: Febe Menendez

There will be no fireworks for the 4th of July on Clear Lake.

The Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce's annual Fourth of July fireworks display over the lake is no more.

"There are so many other displays on the lake that that's why the chamber has decided to step away," said spokeswoman Febe Menendez. "Rather, we'll support the other fireworks shows instead of competing with them."

The Clear Lake fireworks were the highlight of the Bay Area over the years. A few years ago when they moved the display from the middle of the lake to the front of the high rise condo complex, they seem to be a dud. Seems to be fitting since the complex owner has filed for bankruptcy. Now there will be none.

Look for the displays in the area as an alternatie. Nassau Bay, Webster, Friendswood, or travel to Houston to see a big event.
