Fourth of July History 

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress. It officially declared the 13 American colonies free of Great Britain. The day marked the beginning of the United States of America as an independent nation. 

Independence Day is a great day to celebrate liberty, freedom, and equality. Besides brushing up on your history, there are several other ways to celebrate, including parades, festivals, fireworks, and family cookouts.

Bristol, Rhode Island claims to offer the oldest continuous Independence Day celebration with its first observance in 1785. There are prizes for the Most Patriotic, Most Beautiful, and Most Original floats. There’s also a Top Military Honors and Best in the Parade Awards.
