About Independence Day

Independence Day, celebrated on July 4th in the United States, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, marking the nation's break from British rule. It is one of the most patriotic and widely celebrated holidays in America.

The Second Continental Congress formally voted for independence on July 2, 1776, but the Declaration was ratified and signed on July 4th — the date that became enshrined as the national holiday. John Adams famously predicted the date would be celebrated with 'pomp and parade, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations.'

Independence Day has been a federal holiday since 1941, though it has been celebrated annually since 1776. The holiday represents American values of freedom, democracy, and self-determination.
