Small New England Town Boasts Best 4th of July Celebration in America

While we celebrate many amazing holidays in the United States, the 4th of July is a favorite of many.

Taking advantage of peak summer weather, the holiday allows everyone to get outside and celebrate their love for our great nation in their own way.  Depending on where you celebrate you'll find parades, BBQs, city/town festivals, and live music.  Regardless of where you celebrate there is definitely going to be a fireworks display.

Even though most always consider Independence Day to be a special holiday, the fact that this year marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence.  Many cities and towns will go above and beyond to show off their patriotism.

Have you ever wondered where the best places to celebrate the holiday are?  Thanks to USA Today, we have the answer!

Of the Bristol Fourth of July celebration the team at USA Today said, in part:

Bristol Fourth of July Celebration is proud to be the oldest continuous Fourth of July celebration in the country. This Rhode Island classic started in 1785 and is a three-week event, beginning on Flag Day (June 14) with free outdoor concerts, the Orange Crate Derby, and a firefighters' muster leading up to a Fourth of July Ball. On July 4, you won't want to miss the Military, Civic, and Firemen's Parade, which is viewed by more than 200,000 people.

You can learn more about what Bristol has to offer from the official Bristol website.
