That seems to be about it when it comes to Grand Theft Auto Online celebrations for July 4th as there doesn't appear to be any special events like "Let Freedom Ring" races or anything like that. But considering the amount of content that's already on hand in the game, you should have no trouble tracking down other players and celebrating in style. Besides, maybe you can see just how well those firework launchers will do for you during your next heist, yeah?

Grand Theft Auto Online is available now as part of Grand Theft Auto V for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
