Independence Day Festival

Independence Day or “Fourth of July”, is the federal holiday in United States celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 from Great Britain. This holiday is celebrated with fireworks, ceremonies, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball, family reunions, and political speeches, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

Independence Day is United States national holiday and patriotic displays. Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day. Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation's heritage, laws, history, society, and people.

Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue and take advantage of the day off and, in some years, long weekend to gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American. Parades are often in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.
