July 4, Independence Day in the United States, is the day we commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in which we declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.
It's a day that we celebrate with parades, picnics, barbecues, fairs, baseball games, concerts, and fireworks at dark.
