In my country it is not celebrated on July 4th, our day is July 5th, which is the signing of the Act of Independence, it is celebrated with military parades and a great exhibition of everything that the army has in its arsenal, accompanied by acts performed by the aviation corps.
I don't go to the parades, even though they are very colourful, because I don't agree with the fact that in my country there is such an exaggerated investment in arms and that there are whole families eating garbage and sleeping on the streets.
To celebrate, I go to the beach or the park to play football.
