Independence Day Activities

Do you have any plans for the Fourth of July? If you don’t, it’s not too late to make plans. Here are a few ideas for activities to do on Independence Day.

• Have a family cook out
• Buy a volleyball net and invite friends over for a game
• If it’s too hot to be outdoors, have a movie marathon (maybe watch “Independence Day”)
• Go out to one of the many different Fourth of July firework spectaculars
• Attend a concert. Many large venues hold Fourth of July concerts
• Have a picnic for dinner. You can sit outdoors after you eat and watch fireworks go off
• If there’s a lake nearby, take a day trip to swim, fish, and enjoy playing around in the water
• If you’re getting together with friends to watch or shoot off your own fireworks, you might want to spend the morning baking treats. You can get your kids involved and make it a fun family event
• Organize a Fourth block party. Have your neighbors over for burgers and hot dogs. The kids can get involved and have their own Fourth parade using their bikes and wagons
• Visit a war memorial or museum and think about those who have lost their lives guaranteeing our freedoms
