Moving away from food, another fun part of July 4th parties come around when the sun goes down… fireworks and sparklers! Fireworks are beautiful and entertaining, but if you live in the city, it’s probably best to watch them go off at a park instead of your own backyard. Sparklers on the other hand, are much easier to do yourself. You can buy a pack and play with them when the sun starts to go down. For safety, always make sure an adult is present to supervise children when lighting them.
With these tips in mind go forth and have the best July 4th party on your block! Check out more great summer tips and advice from Neighborly.
