Great July 4th Holiday Travel Destinations – Happy Birthday U.S.A!
July 4th holiday travel plans? Historically, the July 4th holiday is the start date of the summer vacation rush. Time to visit National Parks, go see the biggest ball of twine, and dream of long, lazy summer days and cool summer nights.
I’m taking some inspiration directly from the history books. Since the United States will celebrate its 236th birthday, what better way to party but in some of the most historic places in the United States?
Boston, Massachusetts, where the American Revolution embers were lit was the site of the Boston Tea Party, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, and Bunker Hill. There are a ton of things to do in Boston from museums, to monuments, to the Freedom Trail – a 2.5 mile brick lined route through 16 significant historical Boston sites. After a day of site-seeing, head on over to the 30th annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular. There’s no better way to celebrate the nation’s birthday than where it all began, viewing fireworks and listening to the 1812 Overture as played by the Boston Pops.
Washington D.C. This would be a spectacular place to go and celebrate the United State’s birthday. Tour all the landmarks, visit the White House, and feel the energy that emits from the excitement of Washington alone. While there, attend the ultimate July 4th parade, the National Independence Day Parade. There really is no better place to celebrate our nation’s independence than our capital.
If traveling to to the east coast isn’t in your plans, how about a trip to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. With four of the country’s most revered presidents as a backdrop to a spectacular fireworks display, you can bet a sense of pride will fill your chest.
In the mood for a foot-stomping, dancing, roaring good time for the 4th? Look no further than New Orleans, LA. They know how to throw a party here, and and the July 4th celebration is just as elaborate as Mardi Gras. The main event during July 4th is the Dueling Barges Fireworks Extravaganza. Tugboats and barges battle it out for the best fireworks show in the Delta.
Miami, Florida kicks off its July 4th celebrating with a swearing in ceremony for the country’s newest naturalized citizens. Music, great food, and fun fill the streets of Miami and the surrounding area until dark when the fireworks begin.
Las Vegas, Nevada was recently poled as one of the cheapest vacation destinations. With a ton of July 4th parties, and shows, you won’t miss the fireworks. However, if you really want to catch some amazing pyrotechnics The Five Station Casinos’ properties will host the July 4th fireworks show.
