Considering Independence Day is strictly an American holiday, other countries don't tend to celebrate it.
D'uh.

Being Canadian I don't celebrate it at all, but I will likely play Springsteen's song Independence Day later just because. That's more because I'm a Springsteen fan though. XD

The 4th. of July in the USA is NOT the only Independence Day.

It's poor phrasing, imo.

It's like me asking "how you you celebrate Australia Day?". I understand they might be asking a more general question, but as [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] said, they could have phrased it a lot better.

How do you celebrate your country's Constitution Day? :p

Australia Day, which is January 26, is the day that the First Fleet landed with the first load of settlers and convicts, all ready to create a new colony. Since it's in the middle of summer, it's celebrated with BBQs and outdoor parties, citizenship ceremonies and concerts. Fireworks, sometimes, but not always and not everywhere.
The other big national day is Anzac Day, which is our particular Memorial/Veterans' Day. It's the anniversary of the landing of the Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) on Gallipoli Beach in Turkey - April 25. Lots of marches and memorial ceremonies, plus pubs and two-up.

I was mostly joking with that question, in case that wasn't clear, as Constitution Day is what Norwegians celebrate, so, you know,that would be the Norwegian-centric way of phrasing the question.
BUT BBQs and concerts is an A+ way of celebrating, in my opinion! Do you have Australia Day celebrations in Canada? Presumably not with outdoor parties, but...
I know Norwegians abroad do have Constitution Day celebrations, though how they celebrate tend to depend on where they are.
