Americans ... or anyone who has an "independence day" celebration ... what is the most you have spent on a celebration? I can easily spend $1000 on a fireworks display. I even just bought a "professional" remote triggering system. LOL

I'm coming to your house for July 4th, sounds like you have one heck of a fireworks display.

The day of my divorce paper signing was my "personal Independence Day" and it cost me high 6 figures, a property deed, a ton of lawyer fees but the feeling afterwards was "priceless".

I wish we could have real fireworks but we live in a "sparkles only" state" with tough enforcement.  We usually have a family Bar-B-Q and invite some friends a real laid back get together. 

We don't spend much on Independence Day.  We go to free fireworks displays and just have a picnic or small party to celebrate.  It's about celebrating freedom.  Our ancestors paid a much higher price than we ever could for those rights.

Nothing. It's free here several parks and on TV.

I don't pay a thing....I'm usually in bed by the time they're set off! Work comes early for me!

I usually don't pay too much. It's the guys I know that like to blow things up so they are in charge of the explosive festivities, lol. I make sure to have the cookout supplies in order. It's quite fun! Ok ok, I lied alittle. I like blowing things up too.
