Why count down to July 3?
For millions of Americans, July 3 is every bit as exciting as Independence Day itself. It’s the night when many cities and towns across the country hold their official fireworks displays, outdoor concerts, and community gatherings — partly to beat the crowds and partly because July 4 falls on a weekday in some years.
