President Trump on Friday announced that the “Fourth of July Airshow” in Washington, D.C., will be the biggest in the nation’s history. “The Fourth of July Airshow, over Washington, D.C., our Great Capital, will be the biggest, by far, in the History of the United States of America. Hundreds of Planes, of different types, sizes, and speeds, will be on display. It goes from 1:15 P.M. in the afternoon, until 11:30 in the evening,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I will be speaking at approximately 9 P.M., preceding the Fireworks which again, like the Airshow, will be approximately ten times larger than any Fireworks in the History of our Country. So, if you like Airplanes and Fireworks and President Trump, be there!” he added.

Freedom 250 — the President Trump-aligned group undertaking D.C.’s semiquincentennial celebrations — is trying to set a world record for the largest fireworks show. Daytime events include concerts and military flyovers beginning at 1pm, per Freedom 250’s plans. At 7pm, the Joint Armed Forces Orchestra will perform and speeches will be made. (A speaker lineup hasn’t yet been released.) Fireworks get going at 10:30pm, lasting about 40 minutes, more than twice as long as last year’s show. Organizers plan to launch 850,000 fireworks from 10 sites, including eight barges on the Potomac River. On July 4, Freedom250 will hold its “Salute to America” celebration on the National Mall. “The event will feature live music, military flyovers and other performances,” FOX 5 DC stated. “10 days from now, our country will celebrate one of the most monumental milestones in human history. We will mark 250 years of glorious American freedom,” Trump said earlier this week. “There has never been anything like the United States of America,” he added.

Doors for the event at the Washington Monument Grounds will open at 1 p.m. on July 4. Throughout the day there will be musical performances, military flyovers, “aerobatic demonstrations over DC,” performances from the Joint Armed Forces Orchestra and more. What are your thoughts?
