Crossword Genius

Danny ended piece arranged for the fourth of July (12,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

independence day

'the fourth of july' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'danny ended piece arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' is an anagram indicator (letters rearranged).
'danny'+'ended'+'piece'='dannyendedpiece'
'dannyendedpiece' anagrammed gives 'INDEPENDENCE DAY'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for independence day that I've seen before include "Shot down" , "as one reaches eighteen?" , "Film" , "Summer Holiday celebrated in the US" .)
