    SummerReads: July 4th - Introduction

    Confetti rains down at a July 4th celebration featuring the Boston Pops Orchestra in Boston,
    Massachussetts, July 2008.

    July 4th is the biggest summer holiday for Americans. It is the celebration of our country’s
    birthday, and a great time to enjoy friends and family. Many schools, businesses
    and government offices are closed on July 4th so that people can enjoy the holiday. If July 4th
    is on the weekend, many people also celebrate on the Friday before or the Monday after
    July 4th.

    Birthday parties may have games, cakes, and lots of friends and family. Our nation’s birthday
    party is no different. July 4th celebrations have lots of games or sports for people to play, and
    food for people to eat. Some towns have contests like three-legged races. Other towns have
    cookouts with food that lots of people like to eat. Best of all—everyone gets to go to the party!
