President Donald Trump announced his plan to throw the “most spectacular” birthday party the country has ever seen. In 2026, the U.S. will celebrate the semi quincentennial and to commemorate the anniversary, Trump is proposing a 12-month-long “Salute to America 250”
Trump said: “Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence.
“As a nation, we should be preparing for the most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4th, 2026.”
“The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the Union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.
“I will work with all 50 governors, Republican and Democrat alike, to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states.
“It’ll be something.
“The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the Union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.
“My hope is that the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa state fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.
“Together we will build it, and they will come.”
Trump’s plan includes:
Year-Long Festival Celebrating America’s Glory

John Adams said about Independence Day:
“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty.
“It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.
“You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States.
“Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory.
“I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means.
“And that Posterity will triumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.”
