4th July Deals

Our country celebrates its birthday on July 4th. During the Second Continental Congress, our country was born in a small and sweltering Philadelphia courthouse.

Our country’s founders, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, declared independence from Great Britain on that day, kicking off the American Revolution. This meant they would no longer obey Britain’s king’s directives.

It was highly perilous to do so. At the time, Britain had one of the world’s most powerful armies, and defying the king was a capital offence. However, because the king’s laws were unjust, our forefathers determined that it was worth risking war to gain the right to govern themselves. The new United States won that war, which we now refer to as the Revolutionary War, in 1783.

Every year on July 4th, the United States celebrates Independence Day. The Fourth of July is a popular name for the day.

• Every year on this day, the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, GA, is a 10k running race.
• A famous hot dog eating contest takes place every year at Coney Island, New York. Around 40,000 individuals attend the event, and millions more watch it on television. Joey Chestnut, who ate 62 hot dogs in ten minutes in 2011, was the champion in 2011.
• The Bristol Fourth of July Parade in Rhode Island, which has been going on since 1785, is believed to be the longest-running festival.

People rejoice in many different ways. The most common is to host a barbeque with friends followed by fireworks viewing. Some people buy and light their fireworks, while others attend enormous parties with massive fireworks displays.

The day is also marked by shows of national pride and patriotism. Flying the American flag and wearing red, white, and blue are examples of this. The Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, and God Bless America are all popular patriotic anthems played by many bands.

Parades, baseball games, musical concerts, and outdoor picnics are some of the other ways to celebrate. Because the event falls in the middle of the summer, most of the festivities take place outside.
