An American Celebration at Mount Vernon

Celebrate our nation’s founding at Mount Vernon, the home of America’s first president! 

On July 4, meet General Washington and watch as he inspects the troops. 

Celebrate with people from across the world as they become U.S. citizens in a moving ceremony, then hear a performance by the National Concert Band and see a daytime fireworks show. 

This event is included with admission and is free for Mount Vernon members.
