Freedom Friday

Freedom Sunday is an annual community-wide celebration held the Sunday prior to July 4th in Woodville, Texas, hosted by Church in the Country. Since its launch in 2014, the event has grown into the largest Independence Day gathering in Tyler County, drawing thousands of attendees from across Southeast Texas.

Freedom Sunday has become Freedom Friday, and the event will now be held on Friday, July 3, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Church in the Country in Woodville.

The event is designed to bring the community together around the themes of faith, freedom, and the shared values that define our nation. Freedom Friday includes a large outdoor gathering featuring live music, a community meal provided at no cost, family-friendly activities, and the county’s largest fireworks display.

More than just an event, Freedom Friday serves as a unifying moment for the region—honoring the sacrifices of those who have served, celebrating the founding principles of the United States, and creating space for families to gather in a meaningful and memorable way.
