4th of July or Independence Day evokes a sense of joy and excitement as well as celebration for our neighbours across the Atlantic.

As has been increasingly the case over the years, patriotic celebrities took to social media to show off how they’re marking the holiday, with some lucky enough to be enjoying a sunny getaway (how many of us long for one now…).

Among the celebs are Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Christina Aguilera, Goldie Hawn, Buzz Aldrin, Debra Messing, Kristen Dunst, Sofia Vergara and many more.
