Americans Celebrate 4th Of July Around The World

Each year on July 4th, America celebrates Independence Day, remembering the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the country's independence from Great Britain.

Traditionally marked with cook-outs, parades and fireworks shows, Americans do not let the Fourth of July pass without a proper party. And even if they are not in the country on the day itself, American citizens around the world aren't the least bit hesitant to show off the country's colors of red, white and blue in a powerful display.
