Celebrate our nation's independence with a day of flag-themed foods, regional specialties, and picnic and barbeque favorites.
Barbeque Favorites
Are you hosting or attending a barbeque on the Fourth? Take a look at our best burgers, top potato and pasta salads, and ice cream collections.
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Put together an easy picnic to enjoy after the parade. Buy American flag toothpicks to hold sandwich slices together and for decorating cupcakes--plus you can wave them at the parade!
Big Bang
Pack up some plastic cups, a thermos of lemonade, and a bag of snacks for the firework displays. Don't forget a blanket or low lawn chairs--and mosquito repellent can save the evening.
