INDEPENDENCE DAY, in the U.S., an annual holiday commemorating the formal adoption by the Continental Congress of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia. Although the signing of the Declaration was not completed until August, the Fourth of July holiday has been accepted as the official anniversary of U.S. independence and is celebrated in all states and territories of the U.S.

The holiday was first observed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, at which time the Declaration of Independence was read aloud, city bells rang, and bands played. It was not declared a legal holiday, however, until 1941. The Fourth is traditionally celebrated publicly with parades and pageants, patriotic speeches, and organized firing of guns and cannons and displays of fireworks; early in the 20th century public concern for a "safe and sane" holiday resulted in restrictions on general use of fireworks. Family picnics and outings are a feature of private Fourth of July celebrations.

I have always loved the Fourth. Me and my family or friends used to go to Point Mallard Park in Decatur, AL and watch the huge firworks display they always have each year. Never expect to be home before midnight, it took forever to get out of there, that place was always packed!! I think by Far the best fireworks is at Point Mallard. I have been to the one's in the town I grew up in which were alright, but Point Mallard goes all out and if you have a boat you can watch them from the water too!!
