As much as adults like to have the day off to socialize and grill outside, the Fourth of July is also a major holiday for kids. Although companies will build floats for parades, they are usually commandeered by kids who dress up for the big party.

Fourth of July Fact: The original draft of the Declaration of Independence was lost, and Independence Day became a federal holiday in 1970. The celebrating hasn’t slowed down since.
