It isn’t the 4th of July without a grand fireworks show.
Accounts from the Pennsylvania Evening Post in 1777 indicate
that the city celebrated with gun salutes and fireworks.
Philadelphians enjoyed bonfires and other events to
commemorate our nation’s first official birthday. Cannon salutes were also
popular, and the first Independence Day celebration included the firing of 13
cannons, reflective of our first 13 states.
Have a happy 4th of July.
