A few of our favorite industry experts share,

“I always enjoy a 4th of July Party that is casual and festive. Go all out with decor and host a BBQ with fun summer foods and drinks. You can even ask guests to bring something to contribute to the BBQ.” – Kari Dirksen, CEO + Lead Planner, Feathered Arrow Events

“Everyone loves a classic summer red, white and blue themed party! Think fun specialty drinks like a spiked punch with little drink flags for garnish and creative takes on classic BBQ favorites like mini hot dogs and sliders. Don’t forget the sparkle and glow with special long sparklers and if you have a pool, light it up with LED glow floating lights!” – Valarie Falvey, Kirkbrides

2. Have the perfect spot to watch the fireworks
