How Do You Celebrate July 4^th?
From sparkling fireworks and sizzling BBQs to memorials, backyard gatherings, and more, there are many ways to observe July 4^th. For some people, it’s a time full of burgers, boats, and bonfires. For others, it’s a somber day of remembrance for fallen soldiers. For many, it’s a mixture of emotions—a day to remember, to celebrate, and to pay respects. But whether it’s commemorative or celebratory, most July 4^th observances happen to revolve around one of our favorite things: delicious food.
