INDEPENDENCE DAY, known as the ‘Fourth of July’ is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on 7/4/1776 declaring our independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain (now known as the United Kingdom).
In many countries, residents share a common culture or ethnicity. Here in the United States, people share a ‘common idea’. The idea that people should have the freedom to live the way they want, and to work and earn money the best way they can. These freedoms have inspired people from all over the world to come to our country and to become “Americans.”
We celebrate our independence with fireworks, parades, barbeques, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies. Some events planned here in Omaha and nearby vacinities include the following:
