There are many different holidays or events in July. Here is a quick rundown of what to expect. From Independence Day to Saint Patrick’s Day, from New Year’s Eve to Eid al-Adha, July has a bit to offer. If you’re looking for a special holiday, this is the month to celebrate it! If you’re looking for something more exotic, consider a trip to Eid al-Adha in Saudi Arabia.
Independence Day
Many American cities celebrate Independence Day with fireworks and parades. Fireworks can be spectacular and make the night sky sparkle. But some cities have decided to cancel their fireworks displays for safety reasons. In addition to dry weather and fire dangers, many cities are experiencing staffing problems and supply chain issues. Some cities have canceled their fireworks shows all together, which may make them less spectacular than advertised. In these cases, there are many other events to attend.
The first annual Independence Day celebrations took place in Philadelphia. It was a time when patriots were able to show their resistance to Parliament. In 1776, they even staged mock funerals for the British King, symbolizing the end of the monarchy and the triumph of liberty. On July 4, 1777, Philadelphia held its first commemoration of independence. This celebration was the first to take place after the declaration of independence was signed by President George Washington.
Saint Patrick’s Day
Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in New York City! This parade takes place every year on the 17th of March. More than two million spectators line the parade route in the city. Many of the spectators claim to be Irish, and the city is buzzing with Irish pride. Thousands of people from all over the world come out to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. New York City has the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade, which lasts more than 5 hours in the city.
A Saint Patrick’s Day dinner is not complete without Irish foods. Traditional Irish foods include shepherd’s pie, a meat-topped potato pie, and colcannon, a stew of cabbage and mashed potatoes. Irish soda bread pairs well with corned beef and cabbage. Bacon and cabbage are also traditional foods of Irish immigrants, but they’re not only popular in Ireland. They also taste great together in American cuisine.
New Year’s Eve
Having a New Year’s Eve celebration during the summer can be fun. If you are planning a big party, the month of July might be just the ticket. New Year’s Eve is celebrated in many different ways, with different celebrations in different countries. Some celebrate the holiday by watching a movie with fireworks or by throwing noisemakers in the air. Other celebrations feature music, food, and a ball dropped into the sea.
In the Philippines, New Year’s Eve is a non-working holiday and is celebrated by the families. Most people attend church on this day to celebrate the passing of the year. After attending church, most households host a midnight feast called Media Noche. Traditionally, pig trotters and lentils are served for dinner. Some households avoid serving chicken because it is unlucky. However, it is still a popular holiday for many.
Eid al-Adha
The Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday begins on Saturday, July 9, and is the second of two major religious holidays in Islam. It is celebrated to commemorate the day when God sent a ram to sacrifice Ibrahim’s son, Ismail. Although Ibrahim’s son was eventually saved, he still made a mistake by sacrificing him. Because of this, Muslims throughout the world observe the Eid al-Adha holiday as an opportunity to give back to those in need, and to give to charity. The day is also a time for family and friends to get together for a festive meal.
In the United States, most Muslims will observe Eid al-Adha on July 9. People will visit mosques and host large community gatherings to commemorate the day. In other countries, the holiday is celebrated a day later. The holiday coincides with the Hajj, an annual pilgrimage to the Muslim holy city of Mecca to visit the Ka’bah, the most sacred site in Islam.
