This Fourth of July marks the 250th anniversary of signing of the Declaration of Independence. Here are the best ways to celebrate in and around Houston this weekend.

For many Americans, Fourth of July feels different from the way it once did. Political division, economic uncertainty and constant headlines can make it difficult to celebrate the holiday with the same enthusiasm.

Forty-eight nations, three host countries and billions of fans come together every four years to cheer for their teams. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup captures the world's attention, bringing shared memories, unmatched excitement and a sense of unity.
