Did you know that it was first originally celebrated with a ship’s cannon firing a 13-gun salute in honor of the 13 colonies? Later, fireworks became more widely available and became an important part of the festivities in the years to come, as public safety concerns caused cannon and gunfire to be gradually phased out of celebrations.*
American holidays are always fun with family and friends. With COVID still around, make sure to celebrate safely this coming 4th of July and other gatherings this season. Have a fun summer!
