Events have been scheduled for the whole day today to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday. The events will culminate in an evening parade followed by a display of fireworks. Concerts are also anticipated to occur. Meanwhile, “No Kings<\/a>” protests will be held across the country today as a statement against President Donald Trump’s “power grab”. According to Ezra Levin, these protests are supposed to be “the largest” single day protests since Trump’s first term.<\/p>\n

The parade and festival, coinciding with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and Flag Day, will consume several blocks of central Washington, D.C., taking place primarily on the National Mall.<\/p>\n

The day kicks off at about 8:15 a.m. ET with a wreath-laying ceremony headed by Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth at Arlington National Cemetery. It will be livestreamed here, and followed by a succession of all-day events including an evening parade and wrapping up with a fireworks display. The parade, along with several other events and concerts, will also be livestreamed.<\/p>\n

The festivities are the “opening event” for the yearlong celebration of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, organizers say. While planning for the 2026 bisesquicentennial started nearly nine years ago by an act of Congress, planning began for the June 14 parade a little over a month ago, according to USA TODAY reporting. The administration has repeatedly said that the Army’s anniversary and Trump’s birthday are coincidental, though it is unclear if the U.S. Navy and the Marine Corps will get their own celebrations during their 250th birthdays this fall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
