Take Flight with Patriotic Symbols – Think eagles, stars, wings, or other soaring symbols of American pride.

Celebrate Local Pride – Incorporate school spirit (like the New Albany Eagles), city landmarks, or neighborhood pride into your design.

Play with the Word “Fly” – Think cool, stylish, or trendy—embrace retro fashion, pop culture throwbacks, or bold red-white-and-blue looks.

Explore What Flies – Planes, hot air balloons, birds, kites, rockets, butterflies, or even imaginary creatures—anything that soars.

Use Movement to Show Energy – Dance groups, cheer squads, rollerbladers, or bike brigades with coordinated outfits and routines that bring energy and motion.

Channel the Sky – Daytime skies with clouds and sunshine, or night skies filled with fireworks and stars—use color and visuals to bring the theme to life.

Lean into Americana – Road trips, vintage convertibles, classic American style, or iconic destinations that make summer in the U.S. feel nostalgic and “fly.”

Think Future-Focused – Futuristic fashion, space travel, or imaginative visions of what a “fly” Fourth might look like in years to come.
