American Independence Day is on the fourth of July. Americans like to party in many
ways on this holiday, but people mostly celebrate by going to picnics and barbecues. They like to eat hot dogs, salads and grilled things. People like to dress in red, white and blue, the colours of the American flag so it’s a real American holiday! On the fourth of July Americans also celebrate Independence Day with fireworks and parades.

Another popular holiday in the United States is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving is a great holiday if you like your food. It is all about having a feast with friends and family. On that occasion, turkey, duck, goose, squash, corn and many other foods are shared. Another
Thanksgiving tradition in the United States is American football. A lot of families like to watch the football game while preparing Thanksgiving meal.

Halloween has become the second most popular holiday in the country over the years. It is known for its parties, events and horror film festivals. Halloween is celebrated on October 31. These days, American families look forward to Halloween immensely, and families come together to celebrate by carving pumpkins into scary jack o’lanterns, decorating their houses to look as scary as possible and by wearing elaborate costumes. Of course, the most popular part for the children is going trick or treating around their neighbourhood. Children like to eat sweets and chocolate.
