Every year, on July 4^th, fireworks and celebration erupt all over the United States of America, as the population observe the day that the country declared independence from the UK, all those years ago in 1776. Families and friends gather to rejoice throughout the day on this public holiday, with towns and villages often hosting events that all residents can attend together. We’ve also heard reports of our very own Chinese lanterns being involved in the festivities, as citizens of the states give thanks for, and reflect on another year of Independence and freedom that has passed and that they have been lucky enough to be a part of. If you have any stories from a July 4^th celebration that you’ve attended, or maybe you hosted, then we’d love to hear from you. Maybe you’re travelling to America this summer to witness it first hand and would like to take something with you to make your trip extra special…look no further than our Chinese lanterns, which are sure to impress anyone. We’re all for celebrating freedom, so unleash your inner patriot and join in the party this year- we definitely think a day like this is relevant for everyone to appreciate the world we live in.
