Ways to celebrate Independence Day?
Independence Day; a historic event celebrated on the 4th of July.
This date is very important for American people, as it marks the day their country became its own nation.
All Americans gather to celebrate by parading with decorations and clothing in the colors of their flag (red, white, and blue), and, of course, it’s the perfect time to eat traditional dishes and to end the day with an incredible fireworks display.
A curious and not so well known fact about this date is that on July 2nd, 1776, the vote for the Independence was won. A few days later (July 4th) in the same year, the document that accredited it was printed, thus establishing the United States of America.
This is why the 4th of July is celebrated.
