Fourth of July Events & Fireworks

It’s time for 4th of July events and fireworks! If you’re searching for a fun, safe environment to watch fireworks this Fourth of July, or a historical celebration of our nation’s independence, you’re in luck! The Triad has a whole host of fun events to celebrate Independence Day in Greensboro, Burlington, Winston-Salem, High Point, Kernersville, and surrounding areas, and we’ve listed what we’ve found in our Fourth of July Events and Fireworks Directory. This list is updated daily through the Fourth of July, so if you have an event to include to this list, you can add them to our Events Calendar through this link.

We’ve broken it down by location and date. All of these events are also listed on the TMoM Calendar of Events, and this list will also be linked to our Directories page.

Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Watermelon Sorbet

I like a cold sweet treat in the summer, and children definitely love a cold sweet treat all year long. As a mom and preschool teacher, it is important to me to teach the children how to enjoy the sweetness of natural fruit while they are young. This way they do not develop an addiction to sugar. Which in turn could affect them negatively in their youth, and later in their adulthood. One of my favorite treats is Italian ice. I love how it tastes creamy and fruity and becomes an even better sweet as it melts.

1 pint watermelon cubes
1 Tablespoon real lemon juice
2 tablespoons Raw honey Optional
Optional - replace some watermelon cubes with cut strawberries or peeled cherries

Instructions

First, you simply freeze your ingredients in the supplied container. Then, put the container in the Ninja CREAMi/Blender/Food Processor, press a button, and voila your sweet treat - with no sugar - is ready.

Notes

After putting this in the machine consider adding this to a large pretty cup, adding a bit of pomegranate juice, 1 can of Zevia Cream soda and 2 tablespoons of cream vodka! This one is for adults only!
