July 4th has a lot of fun traditions. Many of us celebrate the Fourth of July every year with fireworks, barbecues, concerts and parades. Growing up, you may have learned why it is we do those things We celebrate Independence Day on July 4 because that’s the day the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. However, that’s not technically true
Although the Declaration was adopted on July 4, 1776, it wasn’t signed by most people until a month later. Read on for some more interesting 4th of July facts and history and enjoy July 4, 2023 by showing them off at your barbecue.
On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of declaring independence from Great Britain The Declaration of Independence was officially adopted two days later, marked by the ringing of the Liberty Bell at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.”
Although our Independence Day celebrations fall on a different date, today’s July 4 festivities would look familiar to Adams, who called for people to celebrate the day with “Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more ”

Some colonists celebrated the day by holding mock funerals for England’s King George III, as a way of reinforcing America’s victory over the British monarchy, according to History com
The Fourth of July was celebrated annually throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and in 1870, Congress declared the day a federal holiday But it wasn’t until 1941 that the date became a paid federal holiday for federal employees
Today, fireworks displays around the country echo Adams’ call for “bonfires and illuminations from f this Continent to the
