The history of Independence Day

Independence Day marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia. Congress had voted for independence two days earlier, but July 4 is the date printed on the Declaration, and it quickly became the date Americans celebrated. The first anniversary in 1777 was marked with bells, bonfires and fireworks.

Celebrations grew through the nineteenth century, and in 1870 Congress made July 4 a federal holiday. The nation’s 250th anniversary was celebrated in 2026, so July 4, 2027, is the 251st. It falls on a Sunday, so the federal holiday is observed on Monday, July 5, giving many Americans a three-day weekend.

Communities celebrate with parades, fireworks, concerts and cookouts. Parade groups, bands, scout troops, fire departments and civic clubs often wear matching shirts or patches, and flag and Americana patches are among the most popular designs of the summer for jackets, hats and bags.
