As most of you know by now, Independence Day holds a special place in our hearts. Dana and I were both married on the 4th of July...not to each other, of course, but we find it quite a coincidence that we picked the same day to say, “I do!"
This holiday is deeply rooted in history. The Fourth of July is a day to show our patriotism. It is also a day to spend with family and friends. A day of traditions and celebrations. Don your red, white, and blue. Fire up the grill or pack a picnic. Watch a parade. Run a race. Play in the water. Watch a baseball game. Enjoy a spectacular fireworks display. Participate in the many community events taking place this weekend ... and listed right here on the Macaroni Kid calendar, your source for all the family-friendly happenings!
You can find all of the details listed in our Event Calendar for the 4th of July.
