Carlos 'n Charlie's cancelled its big fireworks show planned for Lake Travis tonight due to heavy rains, though other shows throughout the weekend are expected to go on.

Across town, workers were busy getting ready for Sunday's big event on Lady Bird Lake. The Austin Symphony Orchestra will put on the biggest celebration in Central Texas.

"We get around 100,000 people here, so it's really a fun time," said Don Hill with the Austin Symphony Orchestra.

He says if the rains continue through the weekend, it shouldn't hamper the festivities. But, they have alternative plans in place just in case.

"We sure want to go ahead with the concert if it all possible. Right now we're not going to make a decision if the concert is going on or not until right before the concert. With musical instruments it's hard to play in the rain, so if there's a big storm coming through or threatening," said Hill.

He continued,  "If it looks like it's not going to stop we may play part of the concert, or just go ahead with the fireworks as planned. Because, we do have some pre-recorded music we can use for the fireworks."

There will be several road closures that evening in downtown Austin.
