Many families and friends are also gathering for some of the most delectable food – large picnics and barbecues, local fairs, and mom's home cooking – are among the many popular dishes on the menu. Hundreds of residents are converging on their hometowns, family, and school reunions are taking place.

Many communities host spectacular fireworks displays during re-enacting moments of triumph before the day is over. While spectators watch the spectacle from blankets strewn along capital lawns or boats floating in bays, Patriotic music accompanies the performance. Whether you're looking for a unique experience. Many will sing along whether our National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," or "God Bless America." Many will sing along.
