7 Ideas for Your Fourth of July Celebration
It’s time to get ready for Fourth Of July! I can’t believe it is already here. I will be up in Maryland celebrating with my daughter and her family. I have been searching around the internet for some ideas of things I can do to add to the festivities. Here are some food and decor inspiration, seven ideas for the seventh month of the year! Are you ready? Here we go!
1. Fourth of July Firecracker Cupcakes
I made these beauties last year and they turned out so cute. They are easy too. The firecracker is created with a marshmallow dipped in red candy melts. Your guests are sure to be impressed – or what fiery dessert to bring along to a Fourth of July picnic! Please, head on over to the original post for my full instructions on how to create these cupcakes – I might just recreate them again this year!
2. Memphis Style Back Ribs

3. Patriotic Stars and Stripes Fabric Bunting
Patriotic bunting is a great way to decorate for the Fourth of July and it is relatively affordable these days. At just under $14 it would not be too far out of reach to decorate my wrap around front porch with several of these. Order now at Amazon and you can have just in time to decorate your own space in time for your July 4 celebrations.
4.Power Berry Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Doesn’t this salad looks yummy AND patriotic? Pattie over at Olla-Podrida shared this beautiful salad and I think it would look great served on Fourth of July with its use of red and blue it fits right in! Head on over to Olla-Podrida and grab the recipe!
5. Patriotic Inflatable Buffet Cooler
Having a large gathering outside for Fourth of July? Try this buffet cooler. Perfect for filling with ice and cold refreshment. You could even set bowls of food that needed to be chilled in here. Definitely try to place this in the shade and keep stocked with ice – I know in the hot Florida sun the ice wouldn’t last too long. Still, this is a fun way to add decoration and functionality to your gathering. Amazon has this one!
6. DIY Patriotic Rocket Favors
Want to provide your Fourth of July guests with a token they can with them? This clever tutorial by Dee at The CSI Project will guide you in creating your very own rocket favors. Fill them with small candies and/or toys for the kids… and adults to enjoy!
7. Strawberry Icebox Cake (…yes, it is no bake)
This looks delicious! Amy from Chew Out Loud created this beautiful dessert. It would look perfect on a Fourth of July table. Add some blueberries would make it ever more patriotic! Remember… its no bake, so you don’t have to turn on that oven in the heat of the summer. Stop by Chew Out Loud to grab the recipe!
That’s my list – I hope it inspired you for your own festivities. Do you know what you’ll be doing for the Fourth this year? Let me know in the comments below!
Thank you for sharing my Memphis Style Ribs! Great ideas here and I really want to make those cupcakes even though the holiday will be rather low key around here. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Great ideas Chloe! I’ve made a strawberry icebox cake before and they are so good. Those ribs are making my mouth water! Have a great Fourth of July in your new home!
