So grab your senior medical alert system and enjoy your freedom this 4^th of July! Alert1 recommends you visit one of these 7 great places for your Independence Day celebration!

One great place to visit around the 4^th of July is the birthplace of our freedom-loving nation: Philadelphia! In commemoration of Independence Day, Philadelphia is having a weeklong celebration. The festivities culminate into the Philly 4^th of July Jam and Grand Finale Fireworks. At the end of this grand, free concert, there will be fireworks over the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Earlier in the day, there will be a 4^th of July parade in Historic Pennsylvania with bands, military members, and floats. On July 8^th, you can also see the 238^th public reading of the Declaration of Independence at Independence Hall. It will take place at the exact spot the original public reading occurred. You can also visit Independence Hall, the birthplace of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The Liberty Bell is close by too.

You can also go to a seldom heard city of Bristol with your Kelsi mobile medical alert system. Bristol is the city that has hosted a 4^th of July parade for the longest. In fact, it started in 1785. That’s 2 years after the US gained its official freedom from the British in the Treaty of Paris (1783).

However, Bristol doesn’t just have tradition as a part of its celebrations. In fact, their celebrations start on June 14^th, Flag Day. These festivities include events like baseball games, concerts, and runs. The fireworks are on July 3^rd, but luckily the historical parade is on Independence Day.

Although more known for the Boston Tea Party, Boston still is a premier Independence Day destination.

Boston has a firework display on the Charles River as well as hosts the Boston Harborfest. This festival features the activities about the American Revolution, Bostonian colonial life, and Bostonian maritime traditions. You can also experience Boston’s long maritime traditions by going on a dinner cruise of Boston Harbor. There, you can see the fireworks, eat a meal, and see the historic ships.
