The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, marks one of the most important days in American history.

On this day, the 13 colonies split their ties with Great Britain and became their own entity. This week, 248 years later, the country we call home still celebrates our freedom.

People celebrate this holiday in various ways, whether it be grilling, parties, relaxing, etc. However, there is one constant that almost everyone enjoys: fireworks. The bright colors and loud “boom” in the sky not only celebrate the freedoms we have today, but it brings excitement and enjoyment to spectators.
