The United States will celebrate its Independence Day this week, with most Americans set to follow up one of the many firework displays taking place across the nation with plenty of good food.
However, for those stuck outside of Donald Trump’s great nation this Fourth of July, you don’t have to miss out on the celebrations. Pubs, bars and clubs around the world will be hosting events for their American guests, complete with hearty attempts to deliver American hotdogs, burgers and beers.
If you’re looking for things to do for 4th of July, here are some of the ways that you can celebrate around the world:
