Patriotic Songs Return to the Fountains at Waterway Square July 1st – July 7th

THE WOODLANDS, TX – In celebration of America’s independence, The Fountains at Waterway Square in The Woodlands will be synchronized to patriotic favorites for the whole family to enjoy from July 1 through July 7, 2013.

Water jets propelling streams of water 75 feet into the air and colorful light displays will dance to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” and Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American” as well as the traditional favorites including “National Emblem,” “Seventy Six Trombones,” “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “God Bless America” and “America The Beautiful.”

From Monday, July 1 – Friday, July 5, 2013, the fountains will perform every 15 minutes from noon to 2 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. On Saturday, July 6 and Sunday, July 7, 2013, families can enjoy performances from noon to 11 p.m.

“The patriotic songs at The Fountains at Waterway Square have become a real favorite in The Woodlands,” says Nick Wolda, president of The Woodlands Convention & Visitors Bureau. “They’re great fun for the entire family.”

Wolda adds the synchronized Fountains at Waterway Square are just part of this year’s spectacular Fourth of July celebration in The Woodlands.

The Fountains at Waterway Square, located along Lake Robbins Drive between Waterway Avenue and Woodloch Forest Drive, features a 120-foot long, 10-foot high stone water wall where ribbons of water flow down seven terraced levels to a lower pond with 20 cascade jets. The water wall is flanked by stairs and stepped water cascades, all leading to an upper fountain containing 80 jets and three boomer jets that shoot water up to 75 feet high. The water jets, waterfalls and cascades are designed to create a variety of displays and effects ranging from the subtle flow of water over a stone wall to dancing columns of water, to intense bursts of water shooting several stories into the air. Waterway Square features seven speakers on the upper level and 12 speakers on the lower level.

The 16th Annual Red, Hot & Blue Festival and Fireworks Extravaganza will be held on July 4, 2013 at Town Green Park and Waterway Square. The Festival includes a full day of free live music, games, H-E-B hot dog and watermelon-eating contests and more at Town Green Park and Waterway Square.
