Festivals, parades, concerts, and fireworks displays are all amazing choices to celebrate Independence Day, nothing beats the relaxation and joy of hosting close friends and family in your home. Even if it’s last minute, you can put together a perfect backyard Fourth of July celebration with these easy tips:
Decorate Create a festive atmosphere with red, white, and blue decorations. Hang banners, flags, and garlands around your backyard and front porch. Use themed tablecloths, napkins, balloons, and serving dishes. Get creative and make your own decorations for a personal touch.
Menu Food has a distinct way of connecting us and our traditions. By the time the Fourth of July rolls around, you’re probably itching to get outside in the nice weather – a backyard cookout tops the list of traditional fare for any summertime gathering. Put together a traditional or unique menu featuring a special red, white, and blue dessert, refreshing seasonal fruits, and anything fun. Or, let everyone show off their best and share the work with a potluck. Don’t forget to make a snazzy red or blue drink!
Activities Games and sports are natural friend-makers. Provide activities for both kids and adults. Set up a net for volleyball or badminton, layout a croquet court, lawn darts, or run-through sprinkler, or sidewalk chalk for driveway art. Organize a scavenger hunt for everyone to participate in. Party poppers, bottle rockets, and sparklers are a special delight for kids. Check local regulations for personal fireworks displays and use safe practices.
Get Dressed Up Encourage all your guests to dress up in red, white, and blue clothes! Wear silly hats, stripes, stars, and flags, and paint your face. Find something sparkly and have fun with it.
Music Create a playlist of patriotic songs to set the mood. You can find premade playlists online to save time.
Get Out There Consider planning an outing to watch a parade or fireworks display. This can be particularly exciting for children or if there are marching bands involving older kids.
Celebrate the spirit of America by reflecting on freedom and our multicultural history. Remember, we are stronger together. Enjoy the festivities, concerts, cookouts, parades, and fireworks this Independence Day!

This year, the top choices for where to go span the country from coast to coast, ranging from seaside escapes to mountain hideaways to urban hot spots, with some surprises thrown in along the way.
Here are 3 of the top places to travel to in the U.S.
Phoenix, Arizona: Phoenix made headlines recently as the host of Superbowl LVII, the kickoff location of Taylor Swift’s tour and the home of the MLB Spring Training. But there’s so much to experience in Greater Phoenix in 2023—one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.—not to mention the natural beauty that made it a must-visit destination in the first place. “The Valley of the Sun is known for sunny weather all year around, beautiful hikes and scenic landscapes,” says Lucee Santini, who is a big fan of spots like the Desert Botanical Garden, a 144-acre oasis in the middle of the desert.
Niagara Falls, New York: Niagara Falls is a bucket-list destination for people from all over the world, thanks to iconic attractions such as the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds. Founded in 1885, Niagara Falls State Park has always been a point of interest for visitors to the Falls, and now a new $46 million Welcome Center opening later this spring will feature sustainable elements, hands-on exhibits and indigenous history to enrich the experience.
Atlantic City, New Jersey: “Atlantic City is set to have a banner 2023 and I will be a frequent visitor,” says Andrea Doyle. America’s Playground (as this beachside city is called) has seen significant reinvestment into the destination over the last several years, including multi-million dollar hotel renovations, game-changing restaurants and all-new attractions.
