The Fourth of July is almost here, and that means one thing: fireworks photos on Instagram. OK, it also means Independence Day, and socially-distanced barbecues, and time off work, but let's be real: you're here because you want some punny Fourth of July Instagram captions. And honestly, I don't blame you — it's rough out there on that caption block. With everyone in your feed posting essentially the same thing at the same time, it's going to be hard to stand out. Personally, I think the best way to stand out is to make people laugh. And while the Fourth of July isn't exactly ripe with comedic opportunities, with a little bit of imagination, there's always room for a good pun.

Thanks to my unique job description that allows me the time and resources to uncover a vast selection of rare and unique patriotic puns, I can help you out with that. Pair your epic fireworks photo with one of these puns and watch as the likes roll in. Pro tip: instead of taking photos of fireworks, take a video and then go through that footage and take screenshots of the moments you like best. This will reduce blur and also give you way more to work with — even if they were taken from your window. Happy Independence Day, and may these punny captions bring you lots of likes.
