San Francisco, California

Pier 39, located on Beach Street and The Embarcadero, is the host of the 4th of July Celebration. For 2016, the group Tainted Love will perform The Best of the 80’s Live.

Charleston, South Carolina

The Patriots Point 4th of July Blast starts in mid-afternoon on the 4th, features things for the whole family to do and ends with an amazing fireworks display, set over Charleston Harbor and takes place from the U.S.S. Yorktown. The fireworks display is set to music, and you can also purchase tickets to watch the display from the deck of the historic U.S.S. Yorktown.

Boston, Massachusetts

The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular will celebrate its 43rd year showcasing the two-day event On July 3rd and 4th, 2016. This year will also be the 43rd time that The Boston Pops will perform their Fourth of July Concert on the banks of the Charles River at the Hatch Shell, an outdoor concert venue. On the night of the 4th, the concert by The Boston Pops begins at 8:30 p.m. and concludes at 10:30 p.m., followed by a 30-minute fireworks show.

If you don’t live near one of these areas or don’t want to travel, you can still have a blast (pun intended) on the 4th of July in your own hometown. Check your local paper for festivals and events. Can’t find anything good? Throw your 4th of July party, complete with patriotic snacks! You’ll still need to find a place to watch the fireworks (it’s just not safe to set them off in your back yard).

    These sound like some great places to celebrate the 4th of July. I have never been to Washington DC but it is on my bucket list. I am not sure what I am going to be doing this year for the 4th.

    It would be nice to celebrate the 4th of July somewhere far from where I am, like California. Regardless, anywhere you’re with family would be the best place. I like that we’re very big on celebrating this, because it shows our love for our country.

The beautiful thing about this nail art design is that it's supposed to look splattered and a little messy, so you really can't make a mistake! I love all the different 4th of July nail designs out there, but some of them can get a little complicated, especially when you're short on time. These nail designs are all about easy breezy fun, just the way summer is meant to be!
