Month at a Glance
July is the month America throws its own birthday party on the fourth and everyone else goes to the beach. It's peak summer, peak tourism, peak ice-cream-truck economy. Bastille Day covers the French on the 14th, Canada Day covers the Canadians on the 1st, and the rest of the month is essentially a slow-motion cookout that only ends when August shows up.
