Join the Celebration!

We’re creating the largest synchronized Fourth of July celebration in U.S. history: America’s Block Party. This July 3 and 4, communities across the country will gather for live music, shared moments, and local celebrations that reflect the spirit of Independence Day.

Bring the celebration to your community! Register to host an official America’s Block Party and get access to a digital toolkit with ideas, resources, and materials to help you plan your event.

Whether it’s a neighborhood gathering, a local concert, or a community celebration, hosting is a way to take part in the 250th and create a shared experience where you live.

Times Square Ball Drop

Join the Semiquincentennial countdown to July 4, 2026, in Times Square with the iconic Ball Drop Celebration on the evening of July 3, 2026 — the first time the ball has been dropped outside of December 31. In partnership with One Times Square, we’ll transform the heart of New York into a weekend-long celebration featuring special exhibits, musical performances, and other experiences.


Times Square Ball Drop

As we approach the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, we have a unique opportunity to honor not only the history of this nation, but also the powerful presence and contributions of the Haitian community within it. Square, we’ll transform the heart of New York into a weekend-long celebration featuring special exhibits, musical performances, and other experiences.


We are calling on the Haitian community across the United States to come together in unity and pride to support initiatives that will highlight our culture, our resilience, and our impact. This is more than a celebration—it is a moment to ensure that our voices, our heritage, and our legacy are seen, recognized, and remembered as part of America’s story.


Your contribution, whether big or small, will help bring this vision to life. From cultural events and educational programs to community outreach and artistic showcases, every effort counts in making this milestone meaningful for our community.


Together, we can create something lasting, something inspiring, and something that truly represents who we are.


Join us. Support the movement. Let’s make history—together.
