Get Ready for Sunnyfest 2025!

Make plans to join the Town of Sunnyvale for the "Red, White and Boom!" Sunnyfest Celebration on Saturday, June 28, 2025. The Celebration will begin at 5 p.m. at Town Center Park, 356 E. Tripp Road, and admission is FREE!

The Town is excited to announce that award-winning country music artists Danielle Bradbery and David Nail will co-headline a full evening of live music, fireworks, drone show, food and family fun.

Danielle Bradbery is a versatile and multifaceted recording artist who has spent the last decade crafting a unique and soulful sound that is rooted in country and blended with elements of pop, R&B and beyond.

David Nail is a GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter who is respected up and down and beyond Music Row thanks to the multiple hits he has written or co-written.

Festivalgoers will also enjoy the music of country music newcomer Scoot Teasley, who has been immersed in music since childhood. Sunnyvale residents will also hear a local voice on the festival stage. Kyrsta McKade is a graduate of Sunnyvale High School and will open the evening’s musical program.

After great music, the night will wrap up with a fantastic firework show and a drone show featuring the fabulous drone work of Sky Elements, a 2024 “Americas Got Talent” finalist.

While admission to the family-friendly event is free, we kindly ask attendees to bring a jar of peanut butter or canned food to help fill the local Sharing Life food pantry.

The Town is adding a new way for you to get updates about Sunnyfest, including reminders and updates about any last-minute changes before and during the event.

Holiday Schedule for July 4

Town of Sunnyvale offices, facilities and non-emergency services will be closed Friday, July 4, for the Independence Day Holiday. The Doris Padgett Public Library will be open for normal hours on Saturday, July 5.

Trash and bulk waste collections usually scheduled for Friday will be picked up on Saturday, July 5.

East Tripp Road Construction Will Begin Soon

Construction will soon begin along East Tripp Road between Collins and East Fork to replace an aging water line, along with full pavement replacement. The project will also include targeted asphalt improvements for all of Tripp between Collins and Rebecca, along with Rebecca between Tripp and US 80. The Town is aware of the poor condition of the pavement surface along this stretch, so these initial improvements will start soon after the contract is awarded to help improve rideability.

The Town Council awarded the construction contract to Reliable Paving, Inc. at the May 12 meeting. Construction is expected to get underway in early June, and the contract includes incentives for the contractor to complete the portion adjacent to SISD before school starts in August. The remainder of the project is expected to wrap up in early 2026.

The Town Council also awarded a design contract at the April 28 meeting for a similar water line and pavement replacement project along the rest of Tripp Road between East Fork and Rebecca, and Rebecca from Tripp Road to US Highway 80. These design activities are expected to continue into early 2026, when that section will be ready for construction bidding.
