JULY 4

Friends, neighbors and dignitaries have paid their respects to the family of Eduardo Uvaldo, one of the seven people who were killed in the attack on a July Fourth parade near Chicago.

Before looking ahead to next year and America’s 247th birthday in 2023, here are some photos of fireworks displays in New York City, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas and Los Angeles on Monday night.

Police say a gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror.

The Fourth of July lands on Monday this year, meaning some city offices that are normally open will be closed due to the holiday.

The Fourth of July is an exciting time for people to be outside, with friends and family and around fireworks — but your dog may not think the same.

See the suburbs and city parks have planned Fourth of July parades, races, food events, live music, and, of course, fireworks for the 2022 holiday.

Happy Independence Day! Arguably the best day for fireworks is here.

Not every deal is a deal, said Samantha Gordon, Consumer Reports deal-shopping guru. It depends on the quality of the product youre buying.Gordon searched the sales and circulars and found some deals to consider. Now can be an opportune time to buy large appliances because several retailers have cut prices to lure customers. REI has cut prices on some camping gear. Gordon says online deals are similar to in-store sales.
