Independence Day in the United State is observed annually on the Fourth of July. For most communities throughout the nation, the traditional celebration includes parades down the main streets, picnics with hot dogs and lemonade, and, of course, a fireworks display at night. In some town across the country, however, special events are planned in honour of the occasion.

In Bristol, Rhode Island, fire engine teams from communities throughout New England compete in a contest to sqquirt water from their fire hoses. Flafstaff, Arizona hosts a huge three-day powwow, including a rodeo for twenty Native American tribes. The annual Eskimo games with traditional kayar races are held in Kotzebue, Alaska. Two auto races are always scheduled for the Fourth , including a four-hundred-mile stock car event at the Daytona Intrnational Speedway in Daytona, Florida, and an annual auto race up the fourteen-thousand-foot precipice at Pike’s Peak in Colorado.

Several small towns celebrate in other unique ways. Hannibal, Missouri, the hometown of Mark Twain, invited the children to participate in fence-painting contest, re-enacting a scene from Twain’s novel Tom Sawyer. Lititz, Pennsylvania congregates in the Limits Springs Park to light thousands of candles and arrange them in various shapes and imagines.
