What Can You Do on the Fourth of July?

It's the Fourth of July, you have the day off work, but you're still wondering: what should I do?

While Birmingham may have shot off its fireworks last night, and many city offices — including the library — are closed, there's still plenty to do either in town or a short drive down the road. Here's five ideas:

1. Clawson's Fourth of July celebration

The city of Clawson takes the Fourth of July seriously. This year, enjoy a parade at 10 a.m., a pancake breakfast at Clawson's United Methodist Church, a mother/daughter softball game and an arts and crafts fair. Everything caps off with a fireworks show at 10 p.m. For a full line-up of the fun, visit .

2. Fourth of July at Greenfield Village

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) will be at Greenfield Village tonight for its 20th annual Salute to America concert. With the gates opening at 6 p.m., pre-concert entertainment includes the First Michigan Colonial Fife and Drum Corps, as well as various kids activities including 19th century lawn games and a special visit from Greenfield Village's historic baseball team.

The prelude concert will feature the River Raisin Ragtime Revue, followed by the DSO, led Wednesday night by Conductor Leonard Slatkin. U.S. Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) will narrate the concert. A fireworks display accompanied by live cannon fire will end the evening.
