Whether you're dreaming of a grand gesture or an intimate moment under the stars, here are our Top 10 Places to Propose in Texas this Independence Day:

2. Mount Bonnell – Austin

Known for its panoramic views of Lake Austin, Mount Bonnell is a serene, elevated spot perfect for a quiet sunset proposal right before fireworks light up the sky.


3. Galveston Beach Fireworks Show

Take a sunset walk on the sand, pop the question with the waves crashing in the background, and seal the moment with a kiss as fireworks erupt overhead.


4. The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

Stroll through the beautifully manicured gardens, then propose with a picnic setup surrounded by blooms. Some areas even have a view of city skyline fireworks!


5. The Woodlands Waterway

A scenic, upscale destination just north of Houston—The Waterway is charming for a lakeside proposal followed by live music and dazzling fireworks.


6. Big Bend National Park

If you're an adventurous couple, nothing beats a quiet desert moment under the Milky Way. Bring sparklers, champagne, and let nature be your witness.


7. Klyde Warren Park – Dallas

A lively urban park with food trucks, live entertainment, and a great view of the Dallas skyline. Wait for the fireworks and drop to one knee—it’ll be unforgettable.


8. Lake Travis – Austin
