Celebrate July 4th With Friends, Family, Food, Drinks, & Art!
Sparks will fly across Washington State this 4th of July and we've compiled a great list of celebrations for you and your family to enjoy.
The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, commemorates the 1776 signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. Since becoming a federal holiday in 1941, the birth of our nation’s independence has been celebrated by fireworks, parades, barbecues, and family gatherings.
Here are some of our favorite ideas!
Enjoy
-------- Have A Backyard Cookout --------
Fire up the grill for some great eats! Hot dogs and burgers are essential, of course, but don't forget the tasty apps (and some festive drinks to cool off in the heat).

*** See A Fireworks Show
This one is kind of a no-brainer. America has celebrated the signing of the Declaration of Independence by lighting off fireworks since its first anniversary in 1777. Nothing rouses our spirits like the explosion of red-white-and-blue rockets overhead, while patriotic music plays through the loudspeakers. Most communities host festivities of some sort on the 4th, so check out local websites to find out what's available near you.
*** Go Camping In Your Back Yard
It's not a 4th of July celebration without a campfire and some s'mores! If you can't make it to a real campsite this year, try a little backyard camping instead — just set up a tent (along with a great cookout, of course), and cap off the night with some scary stories around the fire.
*** Have A Game Night
Looking for something that's fun for the whole family? Organize a game night with some of the best board games — and if you want to make it on theme with the holiday, try out some special patriotic games (like 4th of July bingo or some American-themed trivia).
*** Dress Accordingly
Whether you're going out to celebrate or spending the day at home, there's no easier way to show your love for America than wearing red, white and blue. T-shirts with patriotic graphics are available just about everywhere, so finding one that suits your personal style is easier than apple pie. Or, if you're feeling crafty, you can decorate a t-shirt yourself, using stars, stripes and other patriotic shapes as appliques or even stencils.
