In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.
Independence Day is the national day of the United States.
Although fireworks are not needed to celebrate Independence Day, most notably in Warsaw/Winona Lake, fireworks may be moved to a more convenient day. Take for instance this year's fireworks will not be held on Independence Day, they will be on July 3 because animals will be delivered to the fairgounds on, the national day of the United States, the Fourth of July.
In addition, Warsaw tends to opt out of most community events such as festivals, concerts, parades, and carnivals on the Fourth of July.
