Excited to celebrate Independence Day with pomp and grandeur? It’s time to roll up your sleeves and plan how to celebrate Independence Day in style with family and friends. This year, ditch the ordinary and try these fun Independence Day celebration ideas that blend tradition with innovation.
1. Throw A Red, White, and Blue Flag Weaving Party
Assemble your friends and make your own star spangled banner! Throw a DIY flag-making party where you and your friends can get together to weave a macrame red, white, and blue flag-inspired wall decor. This activity is great for those who like to celebrate Independence Day at home, far away from the rush on the streets.
Sure, you need a few knitting supplies and skills, but that’s what makes this 4th of July celebration idea unique. You can even turn the flag weaving party into a competition to see who completes theirs first!
Do keep some snacks handy, in case your guests feel hungry while weaving their way to a glorious patriotic wall decor. You don’t have to raid your kitchen for it. Opt for our catering in Glendale to fill your table with lip-smacking delicacies.
Once each of you is done with your wall hangings, put them up at the front door to celebrate the great nation of America. Celebrate Independence Day by doing something meaningful.
2. Plan a Fourth of July Bingo Afternoon
Celebrate Independence Day by doing an all-American themed Bingo. Design printables with Fourth of July symbols like fireworks, hamburgers, sparklers, and more instead of the usual numbers. You can play by the normal Bingo rules.
An all-American Bingo party is a great idea to celebrate Independence Day for both kids and adults. You can make it even more fun by dividing your guests into teams. Throw in some handmade decor, like a red, white, and blue straw wreath, colorful napkins, and place settings. Have fun with 4th of July celebrations right in your living room.
Don’t forget to get some themed food and drinks to celebrate Independence Day. Check out our catering menu in Glendale to place your order before the guests arrive. That way, you don’t have to sweat for hours in the kitchen and yet send your guests home with a full tummy. It’s a win-win.
3. Organize a Patriotic Movie Marathon
This is one of the most enjoyable activities for Independence Day — make a list of all-time favorites like American Sniper, Saving Private Ryan, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Rocky IV, Forrest Gump, and others. Gather your friends and family, make some classic popcorn, stack up on your favorite sodas, and watch your favorite films under the stars.
You can turn your backyard into a makeshift movie theater or opt for a small venue in Glendale for this unique Independence Day celebration. Our small hall comes equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and can accommodate up to 130 guests!
So, if you have a film-loving gang, get in touch with us to organize an all-day American patriotic movie marathon this Fourth of July. Show your friends and family how to celebrate the Independence Day in a fun way.
4. Go All Out with a Backyard BBQ Party
A good old backyard BBQ is an American classic. Don’t shy away from hosting a BBQ party in your backyard (or your porch) for celebrating 4th of July. Include evergreen favorites in the menu like smash burgers, pulled pork, potato salad, and corn on the cob, so that your guests can take their pick. Include some vegetarian and vegan options too.
Make a playlist of your favorite country songs, stack your refrigerator with beers, and enjoy a chill session from the comfort of your home.
Celebrating Independence Day with a traditional BBQ party can win your guests over. If you don’t know how to calculate catering portions, let us help you out. We offer packages of all kinds for small and large groups — you can choose our 5 to 15 people special packages for your backyard BBQ.
5. Throw a Theme Party
Last but not least, you can go all out and throw a theme party for celebrating 4th of July. Since it’s the Fourth of July, why not urge your guests to dress up as their favorite characters from American history? You can even hold a competition for the best-dressed!
While such a theme party can be loads of fun, celebrating Independence Day at home may not be the best idea. Don’t worry about where to celebrate Independence Day if not at home. If you don’t mind going the extra mile to impress your invitees, rent our banquet hall in Glendale. You can request your guests to contribute to the party fund to make it a grand celebration worthy of the glorious occasion.
We have three luxurious halls fitted with elegant chandeliers and classic decor for hosting celebratory events. In addition, these halls also come with modern audio-visual systems that can be used to entertain your guests.
Sit back and relax as we bring your Fourth of July party to life.
Things to Remember When Celebrating Independence Day
Whether you are hosting Independence Day celebrations at home or elsewhere, start planning early. It’s wise to get a head start and start making reservations ahead of time because everything from venues to decor items sells out fast. Be the early bird.
Make a guest list and send out invites. Ask your guests to RSVP so that you have a headcount and can prepare for the party. It’s an integral part of successful event planning.
If you are celebrating Independence Day at home, be mindful of your neighbors. They are most likely to celebrate Independence Day as well. Ensure your party is not too loud. Remember, we coexist in harmony.
Lastly, do remember to be careful with your fireworks, if at all you’re lighting them up. It’s best to avoid fireworks in crowded areas. Be safe.
Happy Independence Day celebrations to you all!
