The BEST 4th of July party has…

Throwing a Fourth of July party?

Here’s what you MUST have to make it the BESTEST EVER. according to Talker:

Classic barbecue foods  You can get fancy if you want but HALF said they’d be bummed if things like burgers and hot dogs weren’t an option, too. Chicken, ribs, sausage, potato salad, chips, baked beans, deviled eggs and coleslaw are also good choices!

Outdoor games  There’s only SO much eating you can do, y’know! Cornhole is always a safe bet or check out Tropical Fruit’s list of the best backyard games.

Great music  We’ve got you covered on that with our 4th of July Flashback Weekend!

Fireworks  Check out our list of ALL the fireworks and festivals happening this weekend!
