SUMMARY: On the Fourth of July, people celebrate with fireworks, food, and family traditions, each observing the holiday differently.

The day is a time for people to reconnect, relax, and celebrate with family and friends, often with barbecues and outdoor activities. It's also a free fishing day, attracting visitors from afar, like one man from Baton Rouge who drove over three hours to fish. Other events include the Farm Bureau Watermelon Classic 5K, benefiting the Sports Hall of Fame. Law enforcement will maintain a heightened presence through July 7th.
