Ways to Celebrate Independence Day in Washington, DC
Spend the Fourth of July in the nation’s capital and celebrate with fireworks and festivals. Washington, DC is arguably the most patriotic place in America to celebrate Independence Day, and the nation's capital doesn't disappoint. From spectacular fireworks to moving musical performances to family-friendly festivals, there's more than enough fun to fill Fourth of July week. Check out our best bets below:
1) For the quintessential Fourth of July experience, don’t miss America’s National Independence Day Parade, which features marching bands from all over the country, military and specialty units, patriotic floats and VIPs. It's a great start to a full day of Fourth of July events. The parade kicks off at 11:45 a.m. on Constitution Avenue and 7th Street NW.
Holiday Celebrations: A New Book Display
"Holidays are not everyday happenings. Using holidays alone to teach about other cultures is called the “tourist approach” to learning about other people and countries. Clearly the American culture is more than the flag-waving, parades, fireworks, and eating hot dogs that happens on July fourth."http://extension.psu.edu/…/b…/news/2014/holiday-celebrations
Holiday celebrations are an excellent opportunity to provide a window into a culture or understand more about a group of people, as well as reinforce the diversity of all people’s experiences.
