Why this is the answer
Independence Day is celebrated every year on July 4. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing that the colonies were free from British rule. That is why it is called the country's birthday. People often celebrate with fireworks, parades, and picnics.
