Independence Day, often referred to as America’s birthday, is a celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The Fourth of July is usually full of parades, picnics, concerts, and of course fireworks. The year of 2020 has given us many reasons to celebrate and be thankful we are overcoming COVID-19. As Americans we come together to celebrate our victories from sparklers and fountains in the driveway to fireworks that light up the night across the nation. This year we will have smaller shows and often a highlight of everyone’s personal celebrations.
