Yes, but they must remain on a leash at all times. Owners are required to pick up after their dogs and patrons who do not will be asked to leave the festival. Please also consider the noise level of fireworks before bringing your dog. Loud fireworks often scare dogs and cause them to run away.
Is there an Age Requirement to Tube?

Life jackets are free of charge, generously provided by Cabela's and Tarrant Regional Water District. Supplies are limited so we encourage patrons to bring their own.

Are There Limits On Bag Sizes/Types?
We don't limit the size of bags that can be brought into the festival. However, all bags and backpacks are subject to search by law enforcement.
Can I Kayak At Or Near Fort Worth's Fourth?
No. The water at the festival will be highly congested with tubers and the Hydroflight Show Team performances, so for safety reasons we cannot allow kayaks, SUPs or canoes on the water at Fort Worth’s Fourth. If you are paddling near the festival, access is limited due to safety restrictions on the fireworks. Due to the safety concerns related to fireworks, upstream river access will end at the Henderson Street Bridge on the Clear Fork and at the Fort Worth & Western Railroad Bridge on the West Fork. Downstream river access will end at the North Main Street Bridge on the West Fork.
Can I bring my own tube?
Yes, you can bring your own tube, but you will need to inflate it yourself.
