Everyone in America wakes up on the morning of July 4 to celebrate Independence Day, a historic event that is marked in the US to honor the country’s formation. This day is very special as it commemorates 4 th of July 1776, which saw the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress.

Whether it is firework displays at night or vibrant parades running through the city’s plazas, families and groups enjoy their time with patriotic flavor by wearing Red, White, and Blue.
