This year we are celebrating the 249th celebration of our Nation's Founding in the heart of government - Washington D.C. Yes, we were there in 2023 for the firework displays, but we wanted to get a peak at what is planned for the semiquincentennial in 2026.
We were contacted by Destination D.C. informing us that all stops have been pulled out for the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Imagine that - 1776 to 2026. How time flies.
So, we packed our bags and off we flew to Washington D.C. to learn what we could about the myriad of events planned for next year.
If personal agendas have not been planned for the summer of 2026, especially on July 4th, what better place to enjoy the national holiday than right there where all the action is going to take place.
Of course, we will report back what we learned - that's our job as researchers and writers.
But, in the meantime -
Have a safe and Happy 4th of July!!!!
