Major League Baseball is ringing in America's 250th anniversary with giveaways across the league and players wearing special uniforms and caps on the field. But, perhaps most importantly, ballparks will have special food, too.

Some MLB clubs are taking their concession items to another level for the Fourth of July, continuing a trend of creative food in ballparks, such as the Texas Rangers' 9th Inning Rally Sombrero.

The holiday offered a chance for Levy Restaurants, one of the hospitality companies that provides concession items at MLB venues, to "celebrate what makes a meal at the ballpark together so special," said Lou Bastian, Levy SVP of culinary, West Division, in a statement to ESPN.

"Our goal was to evoke the feeling of a backyard gathering on a warm summer day with the best BBQ you've ever had, enjoyed against the backdrop of America's pastime," Bastian said. "It's a menu that's still familiar to many fans and plays into nostalgia with a little Levy flair, while being incredibly delicious and perfect to enjoy together."

Here's a look at some of the notable ballpark foods for the Fourth of July.
