EAST TEXAS (KTRE) - Don't forget about the big daylong local Fourth of July celebrations in Lufkin and Nacogdoches.
Lufkin's fireworks display sponsored by Mike Love and Associates will be at Ellen Trout Park at 9:15 p.m., however, there are plenty of events going on all day at the Zoo. If you don't want to fight the traffic, shuttle buses will begin running at 4:30 p.m. from Lufkin High School. There will be no parking at the Zoo and portions of northwest Loop 287 will be closed. Visitors are asked to park at the nearby Angelina County Expo Center, or along Loop 287, where permitted.
