This Sunday is the 4th of July, Independence Day, America’s Birthday, baby! Woo-hoo!
And what better way to celebrate the country’s B-day and the (hopefully) end of the pandemic economic troubles than with a ton of free stuff!
Parade — who by name alone certainly knows a thing or two about national holidays — has offered up a great list of more than 20 Independence Day deals out there, mostly of the chow-down variety, for you to go grab before the fireworks finale.

According to arts.gov, “Blue Star Museums is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and museums across America to offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel including National Guard and Reserve and their families each summer.
This wonderful program lasts through Labor Day.
