With the July 4th holiday falling on a Thursday this year, many Americans seek local bargains and festivities. While AAA predicts record numbers of drivers and air travelers, many people are opting for staycations to celebrate Independence Day.

Staycation Trends for July Fourth

A recent survey by research firm Prodege for Tito’s Handmade Vodka reveals that 86% of U.S. adults who have taken a staycation or are interested in one view the Fourth of July as an ideal time for such an experience. Tito’s promotes a “Staycation with Tito’s” campaign on social media to encourage this trend. Getaways can be expensive, and many are choosing to spend on big parties at home instead of traveling. Katie Thomas of the Kearney Consumer Institute told USA TODAY that since the pandemic, people have been eager to celebrate every holiday to its fullest. Whether you plan a grand celebration or a small gathering, here are some enticing deals to enhance your July Fourth festivities.
