Today, backyard barbecues and fireworks are as synonymous with Independence Day as our 1776 declaration of liberty, and rightly so. Simmering summer temperatures and hazy, starry evenings make July 4th the perfect time for grilling veggie dogs and burgers and relaxing underneath the night sky. Across the country, vegetarians of every stripe are stocking up their pantries with plant-based ingredients to prepare American classics such as lip-smacking Vegan Spare Ribs slathered in Savory Barbecue Sauce paired with tangy Zesty Potato Salad and Barbecue Baked Beans. Once you’ve indulged in all the suppertime standards, bring out the dairy-free dessert tray stacked with Classic Apple Pie, Luscious Lime Cheesecake, and Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream. Don’t be afraid to go a little over the top with your Fourth of July feast; remember, this isn’t just any ordinary birthday.

VegNews and VegWeb have more than 15,000 vegan recipes at the ready. Get cookin'!  Here at the VNHQ, we love putting vegan spins on holiday traditions, so when it comes to tackling Independence Day, lets just say we get a little crazy. For more than 100 years, hot dog eating contests have been scheduled to coincide with Fourth of July festivities; so, in honor of good ol' American gluttony, host a veggie dog eating contest! Keep it in the family and invite close friends and relatives, or plan a community-wide, cruelty-free competition. If you’re considering a more low-key fête—read: less gluttonous—plan a simple pre-firework display picnic at home or in a local park or garden. Revelers can also shoot off fireworks from the comforts of home (so long as it's legal) by hosting a vegan cookout complete with a dairy-free ice cream bar. Alternatively, if fireworks and fried food don’t sound appealing, consider spending the day at an animal sanctuary and spread some compassion to furry friends.Patriotic Pie Guide click here Great Summer Grilling Tips click here Veggie Ballpark Bites click here Perfect Warm-Weather Picnics click here Guide to Vegan Sunscreen click here Summer VegFests click here 10 Vegan Ice Cream Shops click here Seasonal Beer Guide click here Greening Your Summer Traditions click here Vegan Summer Camps click here Product Review: Ultimate Beefless Burgers click here Product Review: Meat-Free Burger Mix click here Product Review: Salsa Chips click here Product Review: Italian Meat-Free Sausages click here Product Review: Refreshing Chia Drinks click here Product Review: Coconut Chocolate Milk click here  Whether you'd rather spend Independence Day snuggling with farm animals at a sanctuary or watching fireworks with the family, this list of events is sure to make planning a breeze.
