We’re here tell you that there’s no wrong way to celebrate the Fourth of July, and in fact have a few different ways that you can get the festivities going. We’ll start with the ever popular…

Fireworks Displays

No matter where you live in the country, there is guaranteed to be a local fireworks display for you and your family. Fireworks are normally performed very seldom throughout the year, so if you have a hankering for some bouts of color and dazzling displays of light, then this is the celebration for you. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket and sit back to enjoy the spectacular that your town has to offer.

Backyard Barbecue

The Fourth of July is the perfect reason to send out some invitations gathering your friends and family and celebrating the holiday with delicious food and fun. All you need to do is snag an invitation that you love, send it out to your guest list, and throw some of your favorite foods onto the grill. It isn’t a summer party after all if you don’t have something charring on the BBQ. Start with the invitations—here are a few of our favorites to help you get going.

Parades

Normally when your town has a fireworks extravaganza planned, they also have an accompanying celebration that involves live music and even a parade of some sort. A Fourth of July parade is the perfect way to bring the entire family and join the nation’s festivities. An easy way to find out if your town, or the surrounding towns is celebrating is by checking the local paper, or simply searching the internet for any festivals, parades, concerts, or the like. Guaranteed, somewhere close by there is a parade you can watch on July 4th.

Hang Some American Flags

You don’t need to necessarily go anywhere to show your patriotism this July 4th. All you need to do is hang an American Flag, either on your porch, your car, or even from your business. The American Flag is a symbol of freedom, valor, and justice. It deserves to fly without abandon this Fourth of July, so you might as well give it center stage to do so.
