On July 4th, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. Now Americans across the country gather to celebrate the birth of our great nation in many different ways. Learn how one of us has traveled to far away places in search of the best fireworks display, while the other prefers a tradition with family closer to home. We also get a little nostalgic talking about how we celebrated as children. However, if you’re not sure what to do for the 4th or are looking for last minute suggestions, we’ve got you covered from that angle as well. We’ve done the research for you and have lots of options for you to consider. Whether you want to attend the largest fireworks display, take the kids to a true patriotic parade or just chill at the lake or on your back deck, there really is something for everyone in the Ozarks and nearby. Let’s all find a celebration that suits us best and give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy! Happy Independence Day!
