So you're saying that a Japanese MMO produced by a Japanese company made a summer event with Japanese-themed aesthetics to be enjoyed by players worldwide, is based on an American holiday?

...Alright.

The holiday is themed around fireworks. 4th of july is the only holiday I know of where fireworks are the main gimmick

This can't be correct... not only is the event never in July (it's usually in August) it also would be the only event in-game that is to commemorate a patriotic event for one specific country in a world-wide game.

It's a Japanese thing, the hanabi, which takes place from late July through August, which is exactly when the Moonfire Faire happens. Also you can see this reflected in Animal Crossing where in the night sky in August there will be fireworks, again to reference this event.

It's a small world, where lots of places use fireworks for celebration. More power to them! https://www.kuoni.co.uk/inspiration/...und-the-world#
