This year we at Eureka Surveys gave you a chance to tell us about your 4th of July celebration rituals. As a leading platform in paid surveys and an easy avenue to make money online, we gathered an overwhelming response. Now, we bring you novel insights into how America likes to celebrate the 4th of July.
Interestingly, most respondents (about 27.5% of those surveyed) prefer having a backyard BBQ or a picnic. Are we surprised? Not really. This trend might reflect a yearning for homely, intimate gatherings after a year of stringent social distancing. After all, nothing shouts 'freedom' like enjoying a juicy burger under the open sky with loved ones.
Fireworks are Still in Vogue
A very close second favorite, with nearly identical responses, is attending a fireworks display. This long-standing tradition marking the 4th of July conveys the thrill of celebrating our freedom. Despite the rising environmental concerns, fireworks continue to provoke awe and remain an integral part of the 4th July celebrations for many.
Perhaps surprisingly, our free paid surveys showed that 22.8% of responders don't celebrate the 4th of July. While reasons can range from personal beliefs to disinterest, this response may also hint at the diversity of cultural and national backgrounds across America. We celebrate this diversity, another mark of the freedoms we cherish.
Beach and Party Enthusiasts
The beach and the lake never fail to attract those looking for a fun family day out or just a chance to cool off. About 6.6% of people seem to indulge in such water-related revelries on this day, our survey indicates. Similarly, enthusiastic party animals who either host or attend a 4th of July party also made up a noticeable chunk, proving that the party spirit of America is alive and well.
This insight from our survey doesn't just reflect how Americans celebrate, but it also gives us a glimpse into the diverse ways in which we can connect with each other and express our freedom. At Eureka, it's more than just 'how to make money'; it's about capturing voices and experiences.
