Is there a more patriotic day than the Fourth of July? Usual summer barbeques are adorned with red, white, and blue, and the smell of burgers or ribs fill the air, almost as a precursor to the smell of fireworks that will dominate the night. Sparklers and other festive explosions are set aside until the sun sets, but the fun does not have to wait. Acting as almost the midpoint of summer, the Fourth is a day of celebration as this great country celebrates its independence, and no American can go outside without feeling at least a little patriotic. Pool days become pool parties, and lake days become cruise lines as everyone lets loose on the day we cut ties from our once owners Great Britain.
Yes, country wide celebrations and spirits run high, but what better state to celebrate independence than one of the first of the great colonies, Massachusetts. Home to critical points of American history like the Boston Tea Party, this state has aptly earned the nickname the "Cradle of Liberty", with Boston as its centerpiece for the American Revolution. If anywhere is going to have some amazing fireworks, it will be in Massachusetts, hence why the Town of Nantucket is seeking qualified responders to submit bids for their town's Fourth of July Display.
Fireworks around the country create an unforgettable experience filled with music and energy, as crowds look up in awe, turning what was once a family and friend celebration into a shared experience with everyone viewing those same magical displays on the canvas of the night. For people in Massachusetts, however, the Fourth represents part of the State's rich history, brilliantly displayed in the vibrant colors of fireworks. It is a time for family and friends, but also a time to appreciate the country and how far we have come, but also remembering that we have a lot further to still go, and that despite our differences, we are still American.
