July 3rd = July 4th. Orly?

Is everyone else forced to celebrate this Fourth of July today? All the parades, shenanigans, etc are all held today, in addition to the *big* fireworks show/concert. Just wondering if this is an everywhere thing, or another stupid Utah thing.

ETA: of course I don't mean actually forced. We will still be celebrating tomorrow, but we will be in the minority.

    It's the same way here. Not sure why, but we are celebrating tomorrow out on the lake after I get off work. I'm thinking there will be fireworks on the lake tonight and tomorrow probably.

    Mormon stuff maybe?

    Personally (I'm not Mormon, but Evangelical Christian) and we don't shop/go out to eat/spend money on sunday. But not watching fireworks / going to a parade seems like a bit much even to me.

    I suppose it probably has a lot to do with the fact that people have to work on Monday. Especially for the nighttime activities. We always do our own thing at my parents house and I think DD is too young for fireworks this year so I haven't really paid attention to when things are around here.

    I'd say its 50/50 here.  A few towns that i know of are doing parades/ fireworks tonight.  Our town does a kids bike parade on the 4th, and fireworks.

    Everything is tomorrow around us in Maine. It sucks because I have to work Monday - so the fireworks are a no go - plus LO will be in bed anyway. Maybe next year?

    We live near two fairly large towns and one town does their big firework show tonight and the other town does theirs tomorrow. The locations are fairly close so I am assuming they have always does this to help ease traffic after the shows.

    The city I live in is celebrating and doing everything (parade, fireworks) on Monday, July 5th.

    It's totally because July 4th is on a Sunday this, but I think they should have the celebrations on Saturday instead of Monday, which is just weird IMO.
