Fourth of July Weekend Getaways

If you’re hoping to celebrate the Fourth of July without the stress, I’ve found a few getaways that make it easy to soak up the fun. These Fourth of July escapes wrapped me in fireworks, hometown parades, and classic summer vibes, so you can just show up and focus on making memories together.

Highlights:

• I loved coastal towns where you can watch beachside fireworks—trust me, you’ll never forget that shoreline glow.
• If you’re anything like me and crave small-town charm, parades and local festivals feel wonderfully nostalgic.
• You can grab a lakefront cabin, fire up the grill, and spend the day boating—perfect if you love easy summer fun.
• Historic cities impressed me with patriotic concerts and re-enactments that add depth to the holiday—something you’ll appreciate too.
• When I wanted nature and adventure, national parks offered scenic trails by day and starry skies by night—ideal for a break from the crowds.
