Hours before the fireworks go off, San Antonians start gathering at the park for games, picnics and live music.

Alfred Gutierrez watched as two of his grandchildren passed a soccer ball back and forth, smiling and taking in the scene at Woodlawn Lake Park. The grandfather of 11 — and one more on the way — arrived around 6 a.m. to snag the ideal campsite near the lake, setting up tents and chairs for his family.

Intense heat coming to South Texas for Fourth of July. Here’s the hour-by-hour forecast. Forecasts calling for a heat index of up to 106 degrees didn’t deter the families who flock to the park every year for the San Antonio’s official Fourth of July celebration. Nick Gutierrez — no relation to Alfred Gutierrez — was also planning to spend more than 13 hours at the park with his family, after arriving at 8 a.m.

Alamo remembers Fourth on the fifth with free festival, music and drone show Gloria Stewart and Sam Martinez were eschewing the classic burgers and hot dogs for more flavorful options: ribs, shrimp kebabs and jalapeño poppers. They bought a new grill just for the occasion — their first Fourth of July at the park. For those who hadn’t packed their own feasts, vendors were selling everything from chicken on a stick and turkey legs to gorditas and Thai street food.
