USA 250th Anniversary
This coming weekend, we will celebrate a huge milestone for America with flyovers, Ferris wheels, and Freedom.
Grand festivities are planned for D.C., our nation’s Capitol. The Great American State Fair on the National Mall began on June 25 and will continue until July 10. There are 150 exhibits featuring all 56 states and territories.
There will even be rodeo events sponsored by Rodeo 250.
Special programming is scheduled for July 4, Independence Day. A two-hour National Independence Day Parade starts at 10:30 AM and runs along Constitution and Independence Avenues. If you can’t attend in person, an official stream will be available to watch after the parade’s conclusion.
A daytime program on the National Mall commences at 1 pm and will feature musical performances and military flyovers, including B-2 Spirit, F-22 Raptors, and F-35 Lightning IIs.
At 7 pm, a live broadcast begins with national speakers and the Joint Armed Forces Orchestra.
The day will conclude with a bang at 10:30 pm: a huge fireworks display of 850,00 fireworks launched from 10 nearby sites.
Do you have any plans for July 4? Will you participate in national, regional, or local events, or perhaps a picnic with family and friends? Our mountain community will celebrate with an ATV/UTV parade, followed by a lunch, and then a concert in the evening.
