Anchorage is home to a number of celebrations, and it all starts by turning the entire town red, white and blue. Alaska starts the party early with a kickoff in nearby Eagle River. On July 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, the community\u2019s Lions Club puts together a festival with entertainment, games and plenty of food during the day known for having 19 hours of sunlight. Don\u2019t worry\u2014during those five hours without sunlight, you\u2019ll still get a legendary fireworks show.<\/p>\n<p>In Anchorage, Delaney Part Strip is where the festivities take place. The pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. starts the party, leading directly into the local parade at 11 a.m. The parade leads you directly to the festival, open from noon until 6 p.m., which boasts live music, vendors, food and games. Don\u2019t miss the University of Washington Marching band\u2019s performance at 12:30, and the Harvard Club reading the Declaration of Independence immediately after.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feeling Patriotic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An annual basketball game keeps you entertained from 7 \u2013 9 p.m., right up until the fireworks. However, if you\u2019d prefer something more off the grid, head two hours south to Seward. The party starts at 12:01 a.m. on the morning of July 4<sup>th<\/sup> with a huge fireworks display. Later, the Mount Marathon kicks off.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how you celebrate in Alaska, it\u2019ll be a Fourth worth reckoning with.
