Where to watch Fourth of July fireworks: Livestream, TV channels, more
Happy Fourth of July and Independence Day! It is going to be a busy holiday weekend as a record 72.2 million Americans are expected to travel between Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, July 6, according to AAA (American Automobile Association), a 2.4% increase from last year. While rain and potential thunderstorms are in store for Americans in several states, there is good news: About two-thirds of the country will have clear weather that'll be perfect for viewing fireworks shows on the Fourth, according to AccuWeather forecasters. The origins of the national holiday date back to July 4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed. However, the annual observation of the holiday only became a regular occurrence after the War of 1812, when events such as groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were scheduled to coincide with Fourth of July festivities, according to the Library of Congress. By the 1870s, Independence Day had become the most important nonreligious holiday for many Americans, and on June 28, 1870, Congress passed a law making Independence Day a federal holiday. As the nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day, here is what to know about the Fourth of July celebrations and how to watch on TV and streaming.
