The Best Way To Celebrate 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!!

July 4th, 1776 is the day in history that the 13 colonies declared their independence from England and became the United States of America. Every year this day is celebrated by all Americans, making the 4th one of the biggest BBQ days in the USA. Here’s some great ideas to give your BBQ a special flair and make it the best party on the block!

Play Games! There are great BBQ games that are fun for adults and kids alike. Some examples are corn hole, kan jam, relay races, slip n’ slide, Marco Polo, egg & spoon race, three legged race, capture the flag, tug of war, frisbee, lawn twister, freeze tag, water balloon dodge ball, etc. If you want to make it more interesting for the adults, add a little alcohol into the mix and you’re set!

Play Great Music! Below are two AWESOME playlists you can play at your BBQ. The first is a playlist we created with the Summer Solstice in mind, but it also doubles for a great summer time party playlist! The second is a playlist we created specifically for the 4th of July, including some American classics.

You can find both playlists by following us on Spotify and searching “Summer Solstice” and/or “4th of July BBQ,” or you can play them both directly from this post.
