There’s no better place to celebrate Independence Day than in our Nation’s Capital!

The streets of Washington, DC, and the National Mall come alive on July 4, 2026, with the sights, sounds, and spirit of the National Independence Day Parade!

This patriotic celebration marches along Constitution Avenue, from 7th to 17th Street NW, before a street audience of hundreds of thousands of spectators. Expect invited bands, fife and drum corps, floats, military and specialty units, giant balloons, equestrian groups, drill teams, VIPs, national dignitaries, and celebrity participants.

It’s a red, white, and blue celebration of America’s birthday!
