Apart from the usual holidays such as New Year or Christmas Day, one of the most memorable times in the USA is the fourth of July! Independence Day is celebrated across all 50 states and abroad in various ways. Undoubtedly, celebrating at one of the USA hot spots allows for a complete American experience. 

Over the weekend, visitors and locals enjoy a variety of firework shows, BBQs, Presidential re-enactments, live bands, American cultural heritage demonstrations and so much more! The country is completely covered in red, white, and blue colors showing the American Pride all weekend long! 

Happy Independence Day USA!
