The White House will live stream the 4th of July fireworks show from Washington D.C. on its website Wednesday starting at 8 p.m. EST.

The Independence Day celebrations will begin with a concert from country music star Brad Paisley at the South lawn starting at  8 p.m. EST on WhiteHouse.gov/live. The concert is organized by the USO, to honor members of the U.S. military and their families.

The performance will be followed by the display of the "National Mall fireworks" show.

Over the years, Presidents have celebrated Independence Day with commemorative ceremonies, White House picnics, family gatherings, and of course, fireworks.

Last year, Obama hosted more than 1,200 military heroes and their families for a barbeque and a performance by band "Train."
