What is the 4th of July?
The 4th of July is the United States’ Independence Day. It is a special holiday for many
Americans as they remember the country’s Founding Fathers and celebrate freedom.
Americans usually celebrate this holiday with their family through acvies such as
barbeques and picnics. Many cies (like Denton) also have parades in the morning on
the 4th of July. At night, most people celebrate with fireworks. Many cies put on big
fireworks shows. Some people buy fireworks and shoot them off themselves for fun,
but you cannot do this inside a city.
