Sertoma Parade, Frontier Days planned for July 4

Family-friendly activities are scheduled throughout July 4 to celebrate Independence Day in Round Rock.

The afternoon-long event features a pepper eating contest, Sam Bass shootout, full-scale carnival rides, Swifty Swine pig races, live music from the Austin Symphonic Band, and a fireworks show starting at dark.
