How many ways can you celebrate a birthday? If you are talking about America’s birthday, there are too many to count. Start with parades and barbecues. Move on to festivals, campground and resort parties, concerts and, of course, fireworks. You can even time travel back to the days when our country was founded.

Wherever you go, you will have plenty of company. AAA projects 70.9 million travelers will head 50 miles or more from home over the Independence Day holiday travel period.
