Millions of Americans celebrated Independence Day in style on Wednesday, grabbing their finest red-white-and-blue attire and firing up the grill in preparations for the celebrations. Despite patriotism reaching an all-time low this year, citizens still turned up across the nation for classic American traditions like baseball games, massive parades, dazzling fireworks displays, and hot dog eating competitions.
Some cities even got drone displays instead of fireworks as wildfires spread through the west coast and a heatwave gripped the east coast.
