When do we celebrate Independence Day?

Independence Day is celebrated on July 4th to commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, marking the United States' separation from Great Britain. This day is significant as it represents the founding principles of liberty and democracy that the nation was built upon. The celebration typically includes fireworks, parades, barbecues, and other festivities to honor the nation's history and values. Other dates listed, such as June 14 (Flag Day), August 15 (India's Independence Day), and September 11 (Patriot Day in the U.S. to remember the victims of the September 11 attacks), do not coincide with the American celebration of independence.
