July 4th Independence Day 2021
July 4th Independence Day Celebrations start off the Month of July.
There were many celebrations and activities throughout South Florida – fireworks, community events with food, parades, and children’s activities. It seems there were more robust neighborhood fireworks as well this year – people were intent on making up and surpassing other years. it seems this year we wanted to make up for missing the full holiday celebration last year.
I hope you fully enjoy the spirit of the day together
with family and friends.
Happy 4th!
