Yes it actually is the holiday and not the 1996 blockbuster starring Will Smith – see a little history about July 4th here:

And for all you movie buffs, there will be a sequel (without Will Smith) in 2015 (we can’t wait):

Anyway, hope you have a great holiday (watch fireworks and barbeque those dogs and burgers!)
