WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Interior and National Park Service announced additional details about the Independence Day celebrations on the National Mall, which will include multiple flight demonstrations from different branches of our military, in particular the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, and a monumental firework display.
President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will host the 2020 Salute to America on the South Lawn of the White House and Ellipse on Saturday, July 4, 2020, which will be livestreamed on WhiteHouse.gov and other news organizations. The National Mall and surrounding areas will remain open and available to the general public for prime viewing of both the Salute to America flyovers and the annual fireworks demonstration.
“President Trump’s 2020 Salute to America will be a patriotic tribute to our men and women in uniform, and the Department of Defense will be providing a one-of-a-kind air show,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior David L. Bernhardt. “An incredible fireworks display will follow that promises to be the largest in recent memory.”
This year’s celebration will include flyovers that feature aircraft from the vintage WWII time period to the future warfare era. Highlights will include historic aircraft like P-51s and B-29s to the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds. These flyovers are being supported by generous donations from the United War Veteran’s Council Foundation.
The firework display will be one of the largest ever and is being produced by two of America’s premiere fireworks companies.
