(Yahoo News) America’s 250th birthday is on July 4, 2026, and the White House is planning to go all out to celebrate, promoting new national events, such as the “Patriot Games,” that will anchor the yearlong festivities.

President Trump announced Thursday the launch of Freedom 250, “a national, non-partisan organization leading the Administration’s celebration” to “deliver the most extraordinary commemoration in American history,” according to a news release.

“These landmark events — spanning culture, faith, innovation, sports, and patriotism — will unite Americans across all 50 states and territories in honoring the nation’s past and launching the next chapter of American greatness,” the release says.
