 With the 4th of July approaching, and as we prepare to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, today's Chart of the Day from a FinanceBuzz blog, Fourth of July [2026]: How Much Will People Spend?, shows the expected spending surrounding firework purchases this year.

Other notable statistics from the article include:

  • America imports nearly $396 million in fireworks every year

  • Americans spend more than $8 billion on hot dogs every year (~150 million hot dogs)

  • Beer is the top holiday drink for the 4th of July

  • More than 10,000 firework accidents happen every year

Whether you are going all out to celebrate or laying low, it is indisputable that the Fourth of July is the most American of holidays.
