Best of America:
4th of july celebrations

One of the biggest days of the year for America is Independence Day, celebrated every year on the same day, 4th of July. In 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring that the thirteen American colonies were no longer part of the British Empire but now the United States of America. This is now one of the most important symbols to American citizens of their freedom and of what makes their country the United States.

The occasion is normally marked by lots of parades, concerts and food-filled celebrations with friends and family. Offices and schools are closed for the day so people can join in with the festivities, where famous landmarks are lit up with bright lights with breath-taking fireworks displays in some of America’s biggest cities.

Our Luxury Travel Concierge has put together some of the best places to celebrate the freedom and liberty of America.

NEW YORK

The hustle and bustle of New York only heightens for this special day, parades take place all over the city, decorated in the patriotic colours of the American flag. One of the most popular displays to watch is organised by shopping giant Macy’s, who arrange a huge firework display which takes place on the famous Brooklyn Bridge.

Sail along the East River on a private cruise on one of NYC’s best yacht, create unforgettable memories partying on Manhattan waters with viewing of sights such as Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Pop a bottle of Champagne with your very own VIP bottle service on the open air deck.

I got in touch with Natasha to organise a break away for two next year within my budget. She was so helpful and genuinely cared about what was special to me, asking lots of questions to get it spot on. It was quick to find an amazing hotel and i'm so excited. It feels amazing to have someone else plan it for me and I have complete trust that it's all in hand. I will be returning time and time again for my holidays - thank you Optimum Experience - Trust Pilot

Me and my partner had a trip booked to Croatia through Kirsty and I can’t recommend Kirsty / the company enough! Start to finish the trip was perfectly organised and Kirsty went above and beyond to make our trip special.
