In two weeks, we’ll celebrate American independence with fireworks, parades, barbecues, and more. So tell us: What’s the best Fourth of July event our part of the country has to offer?

Send the name and location of the event, along with why it’s so great, to shorelines@northshorebank.com. Include pictures if you’ve got them! We’ll run answers next Thursday. Deadline is 5pm on Monday, June 24.
