I was checking out some of the different events that are going on this year around the 4th of July and was amazed by the variety of things that are happening. When I was a child, it was the parade and then a picnic in the park and fireworks. Now, there are so many more things we can do.

One Independence Day event that caught my eye was the Founder’s Favorites Fireworks and Fountains event at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. If you are in the area, it is well worth visiting. The fountains are beautiful even if fireworks aren’t shooting off. With the fireworks, they are breathtaking. The gardens themselves are quite lovely, too. You may remember the Mother’s Day trip we took to Longwood Gardens and all the lovely critters and flowers we saw there. I noticed a few other gardens were having July 4th events, so, if you aren’t in the Pennsylvania area, you may want to check local botanical garden event schedules.
Another event I noticed was the HollyWood Bowl July 4th Fireworks Spectacular. It looks like a lot of concert venues are doing similar shows, so if you like music and fireworks together, check your local venues.
Do you have a favorite July 4th event you attend?
