Independence Day is recognized as a federal holiday commemorating the Declaration of Independence adoption in 1776.
It’s also a popular weekend for families and friends to get together and enjoy fun in the sun, fresh barbeque, and end the night by watching the sky light up red, white and blue at a fireworks show.
