Fireworks have been a tradition since the first Independence Day anniversary celebration in 1777.




Since the beginning, fireworks have marked the 4th of July celebrations, just as President Adams believed they should.

However, Adams’ recommendation had little to do with it since fireworks had been part of celebrations in many countries, particularly royal celebrations, for hundreds of years.

There’s no denying that fireworks and freedom go hand in hand

Since 1777, the United States has celebrated Independence Day on July 4, signifying the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Congress passed legislation on June 28, 1870, making it an official national holiday.

Today, the date is associated with family cookouts and community-wide celebrations. However, many Fourth of July traditions date back as far as that first Independence Day celebration, and they have meaningful backgrounds.

This idea was originated by John Adams, who wrote to his wife two days prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence about how he’d like this day to be celebrated.
