250th 4th of July in the US

Due to a health issue, I won’t be able to get out or catch a local fireworks event in person this year. I was considering the idea of possibly hosting an event virtually on Jitsi to celebrate the 4th of July with FOSS and public domain resources. The event could include Karaoke to public domain patriotic songs using a FOSS Karaoke player, checking out FOSS fireworks programs like Xfireworks, sharing FOSS food apps and public domain recipe books or our own recipes and possibly even trying a short cook-along, sharing public domain resources about the holiday. There might even be an online FOSS escape room or adventure that would be suitable for the theme. Just curious if anyone else is stuck at home this year for the 4th or would be interested in having a virtual alternative to do on the holiday. While the 4th of July is a US holiday, it might just be a fun way for anyone who enjoys FOSS to get together and celebrate the great FOSS and public domain resources that are freely available. Would anyone else be interested in getting together virtually?

Good idea, except for time differences between us all
