Get Into the Spirit by Hanging Up a Flag
First, get into the 4th of July spirit by hoisting up your national flag. This holiday may have become synonymous with outdoor grill feasts, but let’s not forget that its true essence is to remember our journey to independence as a country.
Feel that national pride and display the red, white and blue American flag at your home, preferably in the grilling area, so you and your guests can be reminded of the day’s significance while enjoying the fantastic grub and vibrant atmosphere. Be sure to check out the Flag Code for guidelines on how to correctly display the American flag.

Fireflies to Fireworks: Prepare for the Outdoors
As much as we love being outdoors, enjoying smokey dishes, and playful conversation with loved ones, certain things cannot be ignored, like bugs. So, if you are planning a 4th of July cookout, make sure you have sufficient bug spray nearby to keep the pests at bay. Opt for an eco-friendly, non-toxic type that will be safe to use around food.
Come dressed for the outdoors with cool, comfortable clothing and a light sweater in case there’s a breeze. Lastly, let’s not forget the fireworks display. Entertain your guests with a light display as they dine on your grilled offerings.
