Happy Independence Day

The Fourth of July has been recognized as Independence Day in the United States ever since the country’s Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Enjoy fireworks from across the United States of America (taken throughout the years).

Because July 4 falls on a Sunday this year the Embassy and Consulate will be closed on Monday, July 5.
