How to Celebrate The Fourth of July in Charlotte, NC.

Happy Independence Day! Americans come together on this day to celebrate the birth of American independence from Britain and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776.

Not only is the Fourth of July a day to remember 245 years of American history, but it is also an exciting time to relax in the summer heat and spend time with family and friends. Read on for suggestions on how to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday in Charlotte, NC, this year!

1. Attend a Fireworks Display

A fireworks display is a great way to get outside and participate in a long-time tradition on the Fourth of July. Fireworks often are red, white, and blue representing the colors of the American flag! Many local communities host public firework shows that you can attend with friends and family. Be sure to bring your blanket or chairs to sit on and enjoy the display.

2. Go to a Local Parade

A parade can be a great way to engage kids or to hang out before the nighttime festivities of the Fourth begin. Parades often have candy, floats, and local emergency services such as fire trucks on display, which can be a great way to get involved and learn more about the community.

3. Have a Picnic

A picnic is a fun way to spend the day in the sun on the Fourth of July. Grab your picnic blanket, a cooler, and your favorite snacks, and head to a local park to enjoy lunch! We recommend classic summer foods such as grilling hot dogs and bringing potato chips and watermelon for a classic American experience. 

4. Make Fourth of July Treats

Making Independence Day treats can be a fun way to spend time with friends and get into the holiday spirit! Check out this easy recipe for Firecracker Bites to spice up the holiday!

5. Make Dinner/ Barbecue

End the day with a barbecue with your family. This is a perfect way to prepare for a long fireworks show and hang out outside in the summer once it’s cool. Get coals and a grill and get creative! Vegetables and buns can be grilled in addition to meat for a healthy vegetarian option!
