Do they celebrate the 4th of July in your country?
Having been overseas on the Fourth I can say that it is a non-starter in most other lands. Of course many countries have their own independence celebrations on different days commemorating events in their own histories. Bastille Day, July 14th, in France as an example. I think the Philippines may have a 4th of July celebration - but it commemorates their own independence.
Take a look at this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_independence_days
Ah, I see they also party today in Abkhazia!

Summer seems to be the independence season.
Yes, it does. I’ve noticed they are celebrating in Egypt again. Different day each year!
Oh, and we celebrate on July 8th up here in Easton, Pennsylvania. It took four days for the news to get here in 1776. It’s called Heritage Day and it marks the day when the declaration was read in the public square. Right after the reading, the hooting and the hollering the assembled masses ran down the street to Bachmann’s Publik House - which is also still here. It’s a good excuse for partying two weeks in a row - too many pyrotechnics.
Ever been to Philadelphia on the 4th? Usually a good party! Washington D.C. is fun too.
It is the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg this week - that’s “seven score and 10”, if you are counting.. Lots of doings over that - a celebration of saving the Union.
I went out to the Old North Bridge in Concord, Mass. early on the morning of the 4th one year. I had a fairly spooky experience there - eerie fog and all. As I was leaving a bus full of Japanese tourists pulled up. Seems everyone else in the Boston area was already camping out on the Esplanade waiting for the Tchaikovsky to start.

My wife and I chose the 4th of July to get engaged. I would always remember and never have to plan a thing. We’re going to the fireworks tonight.
Very nice! Happy Fourth to you and the wife then. That is a good reason for bombs bursting in air if I ever heard one.

That’s a neat list!
Interesting clusters show up when you sort it by year.
For instance, September of 1821 must have been an interesting time in Spain.
And 1960 was a good year for French colonies.
You’re right. Must be the heat.
Except for a slump in June for some reason…

That was my first thought. Then I realized some of those countries were in the southern hemisphere. So how does that work? Interesting graph nonetheless.

why should we celebrate that?
its, as far as i know, the independence day of the united states of america
we are not the usa, so why should we celebrate their independence?
What do you think why other countries are called “other countries”? 
what us-americans have to learn, the usa isnt all that exsists 
I was going to say that mutepoint was probably using irony for humorous purposes, but then Feadoggie pointed out my own lapse of geographical broadness, so who knows?
yes who knows 
anyway, happy 4th july for everyone to whom it means something
On behalf of Abkhazia, I thank you.
“Do they celebrate the 4th of July in Great Britain?” is one of the trick questions that is asked of little kids in the USA. Another trick question is, “A rooster is standing on top of a roof, if the rooster lays an egg, which side of the roof will the egg roll?” I think these questions are hysterical and this pub, with folks from other countries, was an awesome place to ask the question.
If they do, the reason would not be entirely flattering, would it? 
Mutey, I’m afraid you asked the question incorrectly, at least as I learned it. The trick question is asked in colloquial fashion: Do they have 4th of July (the unwary Yank listener infers “celebrate US Independence Day”) in other countries? And the answer is yes, of course they do.
Understandable, though. 
All days are celebrated.
Well, there is that. Ask my bartender.
“Decry, decry the fourth of July:
A mutinous declaration.
I know of no reason our colony’s treason
Should ever make it a nation!”
They probably burn Paul Revere in effigy.
Lads scour the streets calling “penny for the Paul, sir?”
This year the local organizers of Heritage Day (July the 8th) invited town criers from all over to share in the festivities commemorating the first reading of the declaration hereabouts back in 1776. The gent above came in from Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada and he did his part by imploring the assembled throng “to forsake your proposed heretical manuscript entitled the Declaration of Independence”. He was met with loud protestations. We do not know if he made it back to Canada for certain. But it is likely all was forgotten after a few pints were shared.
So, there are still defenders of the crown on this side of the ocean - all in the name of fair and balanced commemorating.
