July 4th Festivities Guide! Most of you know the story. On July 4 1776, our founding fathers voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence, effectively announcing to the world that the United States was an independent nation. Every year friends and family come together to celebrate “America’s holiday” by hosting barbecues, parades, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, ball games, political ceremonies and of course, the iconic fireworks displays. Local residents will find many of these events in the communities that make up the Lakes Region.
