An American Celebration

Celebrate America's independence at Mount Vernon with a day of patriotic events!

Listen to a performance by the National Concert Band during its "Red, White and Blue" concert at 12:00 pm on the East Lawn, and at 12:30 pm, join us for a special wreath-laying ceremony at Washington's Tomb

At 1:00 pm, watch daytime fireworks from the East Lawn, followed by free birthday cake (while supplies last) and military re-enactments on the Bowling Green. Throughout the day, visit with General and Mrs. Washington.

An American Celebration takes place rain or shine.
