July 4 Historical Events
On July 4th, Americans celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which officially recognized the United States of America as a free and independent nation. This momentous event marked the end of British rule in America and paved the way for the creation of a new form of government based on the principles of liberty and justice for all. Every year on July 4th, Americans come together to honor this historic occasion with parades, picnics, and fireworks

Who Started the 4th of July
Most notably, Thomas Jefferson (who drafted the Declaration), along with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston, who were on the committee to write it. The Continental Congress officially adopted the Declaration on July 4, 1776 — that’s why that date became the holiday.

SAFE FIREWORKS ALTERNATIVES
Fireworks are a traditional part of July celebrations, but they can be dangerous for people, pets, and the environment. Safe alternatives provide the same festive feel without the risks. Glow sticks, LED wands, and laser light shows offer bright, colorful fun without loud bangs. Bubble machines and confetti poppers can delight younger guests. For a relaxing vibe, consider a backyard movie night with patriotic-themed snacks. These options reduce the chance of injuries, fires, and stress for pets and veterans with PTSD. Choosing safer celebrations means more people can enjoy the holiday together in a fun, inclusive, and peaceful way.
