Happy 4th of July from your favorite celebrities! Stars like Reese Witherspoon, Katy Perry and more celebrate Independence Day in style


Fourth Of July is here! The annual American federal holiday fell on Thursday this year as celebrities got ready to kick of Independence Day with a big bang.

Independence Day - known colloquially as the Fourth of July - is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches, and ceremonies. The Founding Father delegates of the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III. Congress debated and revised the wording of the Declaration, removing Jefferson's vigorous denunciation of King George III for importing the slave trade, finally approving it two days later on July 4.
