Already have your activities planned, but still need to put together a delicious menu? These recipes will help you create the best Fourth of July menu ever.
Have A Themed Picnic
If you haven't gone on a picnic yet, please add this to the top of your list for Fourth of July activities. Not sure what type of foods to bring on your picnic? Don't worry, we've got you covered with these portable recipes. Whether you're looking for a classic spread (potato salad or club sandwich) or something more unique (strawberry balsamic pasta salad or sesame noodles) we have lots of recipe inspo for you.
Throw A Patriotic-Themed Backyard Boogie Down
Ready to kick off summer with some of your close friends? Fourth of July is the perfect time! Decorate your backyard with some red, white, and blue items, have your guests arrive in attire of the same color, and get ready to have a good time. You can even take it a step further and only have red, white, and blue foods, too, like this lemon-berry firecracker cake and star spangled s'mores.
Serve Red, White, Or Blue Drinks
Whether you're hanging out with family or decide to have a party with friends, make the day worth talking about by only serving up festive Fourth of July drinks. From blueberry lemonade margaritas and strawberry frosé to giant watermell-o shots, there's a delicious drink for everyone.
Have A Baking Contest
It doesn't matter if you choose to celebrate the day with your loved ones in person or do so virtually this year, setting up a baking contest is a fun and creative way to do it. Let everyone show off their baking skills by creating their best red, white, or blue dessert (we're loving these raspberry desserts). And, if the contest is in person, let the taste test be a factor in determining who wins. For inspiration, check out 34 next-level Fourth of July cakes.
Watch Themed Movies
Rather spend a day indoors instead of baking in the sun this year? Make your favorite popcorn combination (like this cookie lovers popcorn), grab a delicious drink (ahem, ideas above!), and get ready to binge all of the best patriotic movies to date.
Create A Fourth Of July Dessert Table
Take your patriotic party to the next level by treating your guests to an unforgettably sweet dessert spread. From unique s'mores and campfire strawberries to eye-catching and mouthwatering cupcakes, your dessert table will be the only thing talked about until next year's bash.
Set The Tone With The Right Type Of Music
No holiday party is complete without the right type of music, and the Fourth of July is no different. Whether you curate the playlist of tunes yourself or make it a collaborative one so that the whole gang can join in, just be sure to let freedom ring when you hit play.
