Where are you going to celebrate 4th of July
Since this sunny holiday takes place in the summer, it is wise to select a party location where you and your patriots can enjoy the beautiful weather and even a firework show after the sun sets. If you aren't willing to host your 4th of July bash in your backyard, try staking out a spot at the beach or the park where you can best enjoy the sunny weather. Although many cities do not allow fireworks to be set off to avoid accidental fires, there is always the option of trucking the family over to a park in a city where fireworks are not prohibited. And don't forget to be safe and bring a bucket and some water to ensure that all the fireworks are properly extinguished. Check out our 4th of July party location page for more creative ideas on where to host your American celebration this year.
