Celebrate!

Celebrating the Fourth of July with friends, neighbors, and family can look different to everyone. Whether you hang red, white, and blue decorations, grill hotdogs and hamburgers, play yard games, travel to the beach, or cruise on a boat, this day is all about honoring America’s birthday. Show your patriotism and commemorate your freedom by making memories with loved ones and even enjoying some fireworks at the end of the day.

Attend a Patriotic Parade

Bicycles, classic cars, and floats adorned in red, white, and blue streams, balloons, flowers, and American flags fill the streets and neighborhoods of many towns across the nation in honor of Independence Day. With music and nostalgia, parades commemorate the bravery and courage of our military, veterans, and soldiers who helped shape our beautiful country.

Support a Veteran

Much of our nation’s history lies on the shoulders of our veterans. The Fourth of July would not be what it is today without their courage, bravery, and sacrifices. Honoring them through acts of service, gratitude, and kindness is a generous way to show your patriotism this Independence Day. You listen to stories told by a relative, offer assistance to a neighbor who has served, contact your local VA to donate your time and services, or send flower bouquets and cards to local veterans.

Fly the Stars and Stripes

Waving our nation’s colors at parades is a fun way to should how proud you are to be an American. A lot of homes fly the American flag from their porch, especially around patriotic holidays like the Fourth of July, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day. If your flag is ever torn or tattered, it is crucial to properly retire the flag so as to not disrespect our country or the colors.

Visit a National Park or Historic Landmark

Observe Independence Day by marveling over the wonders of the world, national parks, historic landmarks, and monuments that capture America’s history. There are countless places to visit that are sure to fill you with pride and reveal new stories and pieces of our nation’s past.

Shop Local & Buy American

There are countless ways to support our country and our local communities on the Fourth of July, including purchasing items from local shops and small businesses and goods made right here in America. While buying a few things may not feel like you’re doing a great service, these little things can cause a ripple effect, creating quite a large and positive impact. 

Display Patriotic Blooms

Flowers help us celebrate any occasion in a beautiful and lovely way. For America’s birthday, show off some red, white, and blue blooms in your garden, on your porch, or inside your home. Share stunning patriotic floral arrangements with veterans, BBQ hosts, and loved ones. It is also an honorable gesture to place some stems on a soldier’s grave to express gratitude and remembrance for their service.
