Today I'm going to share with you some of the most exciting events happening across the US on July 4th, 2023. Whether you're looking for fireworks, parades, concerts, or festivals, there's something for everyone on this special day. Let's get started!

New York City: The Big Apple never disappoints when it comes to celebrating Independence Day. The Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular is the largest and most dazzling display in the country, with more than 65,000 shells launched from barges along the East River. You can watch it live on NBC or from various viewing spots around the city. If you're feeling patriotic, you can also join the annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, where competitors try to devour as many franks as possible in 10 minutes.

July 4th Event Ideas For Fireworks, Parades, Concerts, or Festivals And At Home

Washington DC: The nation's capital is the perfect place to celebrate America's birthday. You can start your day by visiting the National Archives, where you can see the original Declaration of Independence and other historic documents. Then you can head to the National Mall, where you can watch the Independence Day Parade, featuring marching bands, floats, and military units. At night, you can enjoy A Capitol Fourth, a free concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Military bands, classical music orchestras, and celebrity pop and rock artists will all fill the show with their colorful mix of genres. The concert is followed by a spectacular fireworks show over Washington Monument.

Los Angeles: The City of Angels has plenty of options for celebrating July 4th. You can catch some sun and surf at one of the many beaches along the coast, where you can also see fireworks displays from Santa Monica to Malibu. You can also visit Disneyland, where you can experience patriotic-themed attractions and shows, such as Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and The Muppets Present...Great Moments in American History. Or you can head to Hollywood Bowl, where you can enjoy a musical extravaganza with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and special guests like Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, and Lizzo.

Chicago: The Windy City knows how to throw a party on July 4th. You can check out the Grant Park Music Festival, where you can listen to classical music and patriotic tunes by the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus. You can also visit Navy Pier, where you can ride the Ferris wheel, play carnival games, and watch fireworks over Lake Michigan. Or you can explore Millennium Park, where you can see art installations like Cloud Gate (also known as The Bean) and Crown Fountain, and catch some live music at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion.

Boston: The Cradle of Liberty has a rich history and tradition of celebrating July 4th. You can follow the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile route that connects 16 historic sites related to the American Revolution, such as Paul Revere's House, Old North Church, and Bunker Hill Monument. You can also attend the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, a free concert at the Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade, featuring the group En Vogue who will headline the Boston July 4 fireworks celebration, joining Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops at the Hatch Shell. Also taking the Hatch Shell stage is Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez (“In the Heights”), country duo LOCASH, and a trio of Broadway performers — Alton Fitzgerald White, Elizabeth Stanley, and Andrea Jones-Sojola — who participated in the Pops’ recent concert presentation of “Ragtime: The Symphonic Concert.” The concert is capped off by a stunning fireworks display over the river.

These are just some of the amazing events happening across the US on July 4th, 2023.

If you feel like staying home here are 3 ideas that your family and friends might enjoy.

1. Decorate your home with red, white, and blue. You can use flags, banners, balloons, streamers, or anything else that shows your love for America. You can also make your own DIY decorations, such as paper stars, pom-poms, or wreaths.

2. Make some delicious patriotic treats. Nothing says July 4th like a tasty dessert that's themed after the American flag. You can bake a cake, a pie, cupcakes, cookies, or brownies and decorate them with frosting, sprinkles, or fruit. You can also make some refreshing drinks, such as lemonade, punch, or smoothies, and add some blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries for a pop of color.

3. Play some fun games with your family and friends. You can organize a scavenger hunt, a trivia quiz, a bingo game, or a relay race based on July 4th facts and history. You can also play some classic outdoor games, such as cornhole, horseshoes, croquet, or badminton. Or you can try some new games, such as water balloon toss, glow stick ring toss, or patriotic pinata.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and found some inspiration for your own July 4th plans.
Happy Independence Day!

Security Council briefing by Muhannad Hadi, Deputy Special Coordinator, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO), on Gaza. "Allow me to begin by sharing some voices from Gaza. “In my shelter, I hear women cry all night for help.” “We wake up every day just to search for food and water.” “As a mother I am forced to witness my child starve and cry all night long.” “We want the war to stop and dream of the day that we can go back to our homes in the North.” “I went for 4 months without taking a shower.” “We have to cut our hair due to lice and lack of shampoo and hygiene material.” These are just some of the things that women told me when I met them in Deir al Balah in Gaza on 9 July. All of them spoke about the lack of safety, dignity and privacy, in overcrowded camps. Many women said that they had suicidal thoughts". "The children who die, often do so slowly and painfully. The ones who survive, will have lifelong disabilities and sad futures. Six hundred and twenty-five thousand children have been deprived of an entire schoolyear of education. Needless to say that a child without education is a child without future. Children wander around IDP sites 24/7, often unaccompanied, exposed to huge risks and further injuries from playing in rubble filled with unexploded ordnance. They are also at risk of contracting dangerous diseases such as polio from the mountains of garbage and rivers of sewage that flow through IDP settlements. Mr. President, Everyone in Gaza is exposed to risks of injury and disease. Those who survive the bombs and bullets, still face the threats of hunger, unsanitary conditions and lack of healthcare. People with pre-existing medical conditions, such as cancer, kidney failure or diabetes, are not getting the treatment they need". “Today the UN is not in a position to provide the necessary assistance to the people in Gaza, let alone to scale up, unless specific factors are in place. The enabling factors required for humanitarian operations are not new. First and foremost, we need protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure including protection of all humanitarian staff and assets.” “The United Nations, and our partners in Gaza, will never give up. We will continue to provide desperately needed assistance. But we need a safe enabling environment to do so.”

Play Video: Gaza: Humanitarian Situation - Security Council meeting | United Nations

The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question - Security Council, 9694th meeting. The Security Council met today (26 Jul) to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza, including the legislation in the Israeli Knesset concerning the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Antonia Marie de Meo, the Deputy Commissioner General of UNRWA, noted the ongoing review by the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) of the allegations made against UNRWA. De Meo said UNRWA is targeted because of its role in safeguarding Palestinian refugees. She said that UNRWA must continue to provide services until a credible solution for Israel and Palestine is at hand. She warned that the bills before the Knesset on UNRWA make “a travesty of the multilateral responsibilities of Member States. They erode the very foundations of international law and multilateral norms.” If these bills pass, she said, they will put all UNRWA staff and the Agency’s General Assembly mandate in direct danger. Muhannad Hadi, the Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator dealing with the Palestinian territories, said that UNRWA has been shouldering the burden of this crisis. The campaign against UNRWA, attacks against its premises, and legislative efforts to declare UNRWA a terrorist organization to end its operations are “utterly unacceptable and endanger our operations,” he said. He reiterated, “The United Nations and our partners in Gaza, will never give up. We will continue to provide desperately needed assistance. But we need a safe enabling environment to do so.” Also addressing the Council, Riyad H. Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, said, “Humanitarians in Palestine are trying to deliver on their noble mission in impossible circumstances and at the peril of their life. Our support should match their courage. UNRWA remains under attack. The baseless and shameless terrorism charge against a UN humanitarian agency are no longer a talking point but a license to kill.” Gilad Erdan, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations, said, “Where is the meeting demanding the return of our hostages? Without their immediate and unconditional release, there is no hope for peace and security. When the brutalities of Iran and its proxies are dismissed, Israel must take its future into its own hands. We will continue to carry out the necessary operations to defeat Hamas, along with anyone who attack attacks our citizens.” Screenshot Credit: UN Photo/Eskinder Debebe

France’s high-speed rail network was thrown into chaos, hours before the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, by a series of coordinated arson attacks. The saboteurs struck away from the capital at five apparently unguarded places. France's state-owned rail company SNCF says the saboteurs vandalised or targeted five signal boxes and electricity installations. France's TGV high-speed train services ground to a halt on major lines and stranded passengers filled the main concourses at Gare Du Nord and Gare Montparnasse, two of the major rail hubs in Paris for travellers on the main lines running north and west of the capital. The caretaker Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said the repercussions for the rail network were massive and serious, and France's intelligence services and forces of order had been deployed to "find and punish those behind these criminal acts". It was not immediately clear who was behind the attacks. The sabotage took place despite a massive security operation to protect the Olympics. Streets in the centre of Paris have been blocked off, metro stations closed and thousands of police, soldiers and other guards deployed to maintain security on the big showpiece day launch the Olympic Games.

Play Video: Sinaloa Cartel El Mayo and Joaquín Guzmán López Bosses Arrested in Texas

Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, the leader of Mexico’s infamous Sinaloa cartel, has been arrested by US authorities in El Paso, Texas. Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of jailed cartel leader ‘El Chapo’, was arrested alongside El Mayo. Zambada and Guzmán face charges for leading criminal operations for the cartel - including fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking. Fentanyl is an extremely deadly opioid drug, 20 to 40 times more potent than heroin. It’s the leading cause of death for 18 to 45-year-olds in America, according to authorities. The Sinaloa cartel is the largest supplier of drugs to the US. US Attorney General Merrick Garland said the two men lead ‘one of the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organisations in the world’. It was run by El Mayo and El Chapo throughout the 90s and 2000s, who significantly expanded its operations. El Chapo was imprisoned twice in Mexico, but escaped each time. He was extradited to the US in 2017, and sentenced to life in 2019 on charges related to his cartel leadership. He is currently held at ADX Florence, a supermax prison in Colorado housing some of the country’s most dangerous criminals. Following El Chapo’s arrest, his four sons, known as ‘Los Chapatos’, inherited his criminal empire. His eldest son, Ovidio Guzmán López, was arrested by Mexican authorities in 2019 but President Andrés Manuel López Obrador ordered him released, to avoid further bloodshed. He was arrested again in 2023 in Mexico and extradited to the US. The two other Chapatos, Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar and Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar, were charged over drug trafficking by the US Justice Department last year. They remain at large.

Benjamin Netanyahu has given his fourth speech to the US congress as Israeli Prime Minister, a record for any world leader. He received a standing ovation from most in congress itself. But outside the building, protests roared. Thousands gathered to oppose Netanyahu’s visit, and the ongoing war in Gaza. Security was tight and at least 23 people were arrested on the streets of Washington. Police used pepper spray on demonstrators. An effigy of Netanyahu’s head was burned, as was a US flag, which a man attempted to salvage. Jewish protesters demonstrated from within congress, wearing shirts displaying: ‘Jews say stop arming Israel’. Demonstrators also released maggots and crickets inside Netanyahu’s Washington hotel and remained outside the building late into the night. Netanyahu made his contempt for protesters clear in his speech. Many Democratic congresspeople boycotted Netanyahu’s speech. Notable absentees included Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders. Kamala Harris was also a no-show, claiming a trip scheduled long ago prevented her from attending. Palestinian-American congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a harsh critic of Israel, protested from inside the chamber. The war in Gaza has killed 39,000 Palestinians according to local health authorities and left much of the Strip’s infrastructure destroyed.
