When they dreamed of Independence Day, our founding fathers imagined it to be the paramount American celebration. On July 4th, 1776, we cut the cord with England, and declared our rag-tag land to be an autonomous country. That’s a pretty big deal.
In a letter to his wife, Abigail, John Adams predicted Independence Day to be a “triumph” for posterity, and a day “solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, […] bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”
While the land of the free might appear drastically different from John Adams’ young America, we have to acknowledge that he made some pretty accurate predictions! Independence Day is celebrated as the birthday of our country. We love the 4th of July, and cherish it as our very favorite holiday here at Superior Celebrations. Why? Well, it’s all about those “illuminations,” aka, fireworks. Last year we talked about 4th of July Weddings and how to have the best 4th of July ever. This year, we want to showcase our favorite product lineup to add that “pomp and parade” element to your celebration.
