The History of Independence Day
What makes July 4th a national holiday is that it marks the date that the United States of America was formed, earning its liberty from Great Britain. For some historical context, on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted, declaring the 13 original American colonies’ independence from British rule. The first celebrations of this national holiday (although it wasn’t officially a national holiday until 1870) were people flocking to the streets, town squares, and parks, and giving speeches, marching in parades, starting bonfires, and even setting off fireworks. Yes, even fireworks were around all those years ago!
Best Places to Watch Fireworks in Sacramento
Like most cities, Sacramento has several spectacular fireworks displays on July 4th. One of the popular spots is the annual Fourth on the Field at Sutter Health Park, home to the Minor League Baseball team, the Sacramento River Cats.

Additionally, neighborhoods, parks, and venues throughout Sacramento host their own fireworks displays, providing residents and visitors with ample opportunities to celebrate.
