Michael Triantafilidis: “I think having a barbecue and celebrating with sparklers is fun.”

Sadie Doyle: “Last year, I spent the Fourth of July with family and friends in North Carolina. All the houses have big porches and while all the dads prepared the fireworks, we stood on the porch and waited. I’ll never forget seeing them go off above our heads! I’d do it again this year if I could.”

Matthew Welevinski: “I would have a sports-packed day finished off with a barbecue and fireworks. I would hang out at a pool, too.”

Luiza Tolkuci: “The Fourth of July is the same day as my father’s birthday, so the best way to celebrate is always with him. We give him a cake and have a barbecue and play with sparklers.”

Dean Hill: “Just hanging out and maybe having a barbecue.”
