What to Expect for 2026

Desde la inauguración de Filadelfia Tareas pendientes en rojo, blanco y azul two years ago, museums, historic attractions and other businesses around Distrito histórico de Filadelfia have come together annually to celebrate on July 2.

This year’s July 2 celebration promises to be the biggest yet, kicking off at 7 a.m. with non-stop action until 9 p.m.

Here’s a run-down of the day’s activities:

Living Liberty Bell

The day kicks off with 250 people gathering on Independence Mall to form the outline of the Liberty Bell.

Flag Raising at the Betsy Ross House

The bells ring as the official flag raising at the Casa de Betsy Ross (with Betsy herself) signals that museums have opened and the party has begun.
