America's Largest Independence Day Celebrations

Break out your red, white, and blue and prepare to celebrate.   Every 4th of July, Americans celebrate their Independence Day and it is our the largest annual party across the nation.   

Fun Fact: even more than St. Patrick’s day, Cinco de Mayo, Christmas and Thanksgiving, more beer is consumed on the Fourth of July every year.   It is also the most popular U.S. holiday for grilling and barbecue so shop early for your beer and meat.  

Most towns and cities across America hold civic parades, festivals and celebrations and many families also have their own traditions.  However, 4th of July is also one of the busiest travel holidays of the year and planning an annual trip to see and experience how large cities and destinations celebrate is an awesome and inspiring family vacation.

Here is the list of the top 10 Fireworks displays in the USA not to miss...
