Mount Rushmore to Host Fireworks for America’s 250th Birthday

America will be celebrating its 250th birthday in style next year.

South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum announced plans for a Mount Rushmore Fireworks celebration to commemorate America’s 250th birthday on the Fourth of July 2026.  

“South Dakota is the epitome of freedom, so it is only fitting to throw the biggest birthday party ever for the United States of America in our backyard,” said Rhoden. “President John Adams said that Independence Day, ‘ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade … bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.’ These fireworks achieve that mission, and I am grateful for Secretary Burgum and President Trump’s partnership. You won’t want to miss it!”
