How to Put On the Ultimate Patriotic Party for 4th of July

I love the colors red, white, and blue because they remind me of learning about the Constitution, civil rights, and the incredible stories in American history. I gave speeches about patriotism and U.S. History when I was a child, and I traveled with my family to Pioneer Day parades and other historical events. My mom started the first 4th of July parade in Tempe, Arizona. Friends, family, and neighbors came together to create floats and to decorate bikes, wagons, and cars. We dressed up as Betsy Ross, Abe Lincoln, and other historical celebrities. Someone dressed up in a very cool Uncle Sam costume with a tall hat and long pants covering his stilts. My brothers and I also dressed up as red, white, and blue clowns a few times, handing out helium balloons, little American flags, and candy to the spectators.

Supporting America and showing my family’s love for the USA holds rich memories for me. You can make these memories for your family by hosting festive Red, White & Blue Parties for holidays like July 4th, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day.

You will want to serve classic American food like hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and baked beans. Root beer, lemonade, jello, and watermelon are also traditional favorites. There are recipes below.
