Fourth of July Party Ideas

Fourth of July Party Ideas- we’ve rounded up lots of fun July 4th food recipes and Fourth of July decorations so you can celebrate America in style!

Fourth of July Food Ideas

Nothing says ‘America Rocks’ more than good food with good friends. Cooking in the backyard, Barbecues, sweets and drinks are all necessary for a great July 4th celebration. Here are a few classic crowd pleasing recipes:

This fresh BLT pasta salad has my mouth watering.
You’ve got to get the American flag in with the apps! This Taco Salad Flag is the perfect addition!
How about a DIY Burger bar where guests can customize their burgers exactly how they’d like?
These Firecracker Hotdogs will be a huge hit with the kids (and myself to be honest)!
In the midwest, July 4th is not complete without corn on the cob. Try this Mexican Street Corn for a way to spice things up!

Fourth of July Dessert Ideas

Desserts are always my way of contributing. I love making sweet treats with my daughter and who can say no to a dessert made by a little girl?!

This Red, White and Blue M&M’s Cookie Bar is at the top of our list this year for our Fourth of July party.
No-bake is always a favorite in our family. Having it layered with pretty colors and topped with berries makes it even better! We’ll definitely be trying this No Bake Summer Berry Lasagna.
If you want to look like you worked really hard but actually did hardly anything, make a chocolate bark! I love the swirls in this Red White and Blue Bark!
Again, can’t go wrong with the flag themed foods. Bring something a little healthier with this Easy Flag Fruit Dessert.
Dips in the dessert world are highly underrated. I’m dying over how cute this Chocolate Chip Cookie Flag Dip looks!
