Themes For Parties Australia

On the 4th of July, 1776, The United States of America declared independence from Great Britain by adopting the Declaration of Independence. In the US, Independence Day celebrates the history, government, and traditions of the United States, but is also viewed as simply a summer festival.

4th of July Food Ideas

  • Make an American flag cake. You can use food colouring or, for a slightly healthier option, strawberries and blueberries on white icing.
     
  • For a really simple dessert, strawberries and blueberries with cream.

  •  
  • Add some red and blue food colouring to some water and make red, white (clear) and blue ice cubes to add to drinks.

4th of July Party Ideas

  • Traditionally, fireworks have played a big part in 4th of July celebrations in America. However, fireworks are illegal in Australia, so we have to find our fun in other ways. Throw streamers or confetti, and use noise makers like party blowouts and party poppers (available from Party Products Australia.)
     
  • Give the kids some sparklers and glow sticks to run around with.

  •  
  • Play American music. For example, The American National Anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), God Bless America, The 1812 Overture (associated with 4th of July thanks to the Boston Pops), Stars and Stripes Forever, Yankee Doodle.
