Summer is here, which means July 4th is right around the corner. If you’re looking for ideas on how to throw a virtual office party, check out our 4th of July work activities to celebrate all the fun of Independence Day with your team!
The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, is a federal holiday celebrated in the United States every year on July 4th. It commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This historic document declared the American colonies' independence from British rule and marked the birth of the United States of America as a sovereign nation.
On this day, Americans celebrate their freedom and the principles of liberty, democracy, and independence upon which the nation was founded. The Fourth of July is often observed with various patriotic festivities, including parades, a big fireworks show, singing of the national anthem, concerts, and gatherings with friends and family members.
With Confetti's virtual events and activities, it's easy to ring in Independence Day with your colleagues as well!
If the whole team can't gather for an in-person office party potluck, there are still plenty of engaging and interactive team building experiences to connect your remote employees!
Creating a shared playlist for 4th of July music with coworkers in the office can be a collaborative and enjoyable activity. Here's how you can go about it:
