Have a fun holiday weekend with these easy ideas for the Fourth of July!
Host An Outdoor Movie Night And Barbeque
Bond with your friends and family by setting up a projector outdoors with plush cushions and blankets to celebrate the Fourth of July! Play your favourite classic American flicks and enjoy the night with hot dogs and burgers. Serve stovetop popcorn to add to this movie night! If it’s a bit chilly outside make s’mores and hot chocolate that both kids and adults with adore! Set up red, white and blue candles outdoors to add to the festivities.

Watch Fireworks At A Park Near You
Fireworks are beautiful, but dangerous if not handled carefully. In 2013, there were 11,400 injuries and 8 fireworks-related deaths according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Gather your closest friends and family to enjoy the views as you bring in the Fourth of July together watching fireworks light up the sky at your local park.

Host A Potluck With Non-Traditional Foods
Host a potluck, and ask that everyone bring a food representative of his or her background to add a personal twist to the Fourth of July. By the end of the night, you’ll have fun finger foods like samosas, nachos, and wings! Letting guests know in advance guarantees that main courses will be flavourful and full of variety to ensure that multiple people at your party aren’t bringing the same dish.

Go Camping!
If you like nature, camping is the way to go. Parks offer reservations in advance to ensure that you have a place at your favorite spot. You can go for a dip at the lake and celebrate by having an outdoors picnic with classic sandwiches like PB&J and a cheese plate with a bottle of wine.

Take Advantage Of Free Events
The Fourth of July means that there will be lots of concerts, parades and food festivals to attend. You can go to a food truck to fill up on churros and burritos, or attend a concert and meet new friends. Take your kids to a parade near you for fun activities like face painting and floats.

Help Those Around You
What better way to show patriotism than helping those around you? Volunteer at your senior citizen home or shelter to serve food and engage in conversation that will bring you memories forever. Bringing a smile to others faces by volunteering your time and clothes that you don’t need will make this July 4 memorable.
