Top 5 interesting things to do on US Independence Day on July 4
Every year on July 4, Americans celebrate a very important national holiday - the US Independence Day. On this day, every family usually has its own traditional plans.
If you don't want to limit yourself to trivial things like watching fireworks with your family, listening to patriotic songs, or having a backyard barbecue, you should pay attention to many other equally interesting activities, writes Yahoo.
Attend a festival
From coast to coast, cities across the country are hosting a variety of 4th of July celebrations, with some falling on the day itself and others taking place the weekend before or after. Choose a festival near you and enjoy music, food, and good times.
Take advantage of sales
On this day, many stores and retailers hold holiday sales, so if you have the energy and, most importantly, the money, you can spend the morning and evening shopping. At the same time, you can buy the things you need at a good price.
Go to the movies
Some of the best movies of the year are debuting in theaters on the 4th of July weekend, so grab a bucket of popcorn, your best friends, and watch a movie on the big screen. These movies are called "summer blockbusters" for a reason.
Go on a hike
Even if you prefer a luxurious hotel bed to sleeping bags, you can still have a campfire, tell ghost stories, and watch shooting stars without even sleeping under the stars.
Visit a historical site
Even if you're far from the nation's capital, you can still find a local historical site to visit on the 4th of July. While some attractions may be closed for the holiday, many others are still open and you can discover some interesting history.
