This year’s July Fourth weekend is quieter than those of previous years — city fireworks shows and music festivals are canceled, travel restrictions are in place and many businesses have shut down.

Longtime family traditions are being altered due to social distancing efforts and a new masking requirement. It’s a new experience for everyone. Still, signs of the holiday can be found across North Texas.

KERA’s Keren Carrion captured what Independence Day looks like during the pandemic:
