Kristi Gustafson recommends an often overlooked site to celebrate the birth of the nation.   “America had its first significant victory in the Revolutionary War. In 1775, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold took Fort Ticonderoga from the British. Start the holiday weekend with a visit at Fort Ticonderoga. The festivities include food and live music. Fireworks go off after dark on July 4th. Lake George Village is in like manner hosting a fireworks display put on July 3rd.”  Stay at the beautiful Georgian Resort with Discount Rates starting at $219.  

Memphis kicks the party up a notch for the 4th with the Memphis Brothers Band Blues BBQ, Soul of America and the Beale Street’s “Red, White and Blues” event.  Enjoy spectacular fireworks at Tom Lee Park or attend the Germantown Family Fourth Celebration for a romance your sweetie at the Hilton Memphis with special romance package from $129.   More Celebrations in the South
