Antes de o dia 4 de julho ser conhecido como o Dia da Independência, John Adams previu que a nação celebraria a ocasião em... 2 de julho.
É isso mesmo: O Congresso Continental se declarou oficialmente livre da Grã-Bretanha em 2 de julho de 1776, o que levou Adams a prever que o dia seria marcado por "pompa e desfile" para as próximas gerações.
Como sabemos, as coisas não aconteceram exatamente dessa forma. Mas para cumprir o desejo original de Adams, as empresas e instituições culturais do Distrito Histórico da Filadélfia comemoram com o Pompa e desfile vermelho, branco e azul para fazer todo dia 2 de julho, com um grande desfile e uma festa de quarteirão que inclui shows, jogos, horários estendidos em atrações históricas, happy hours especiais em restaurantes e muito mais.
O Seminicentenário version of Red, White & Blue To-Do presents an entire day – Thursday, July 2, 2026 — packed with activities from morning to night.
Read on for everything you need to know about this year’s festivities.
Desde a inauguração da Filadélfia, a Tarefas pendentes em vermelho, branco e azul two years ago, museums, historic attractions and other businesses around Distrito histórico da Filadélfia 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:
The day kicks off with 250 people gathering on Independence Mall to form the outline of the Liberty Bell.
The bells ring as the official flag raising at the Casa Betsy Ross (with Betsy herself) signals that museums have opened and the party has begun.

At 11 a.m., a big parade leaves from the National Constitution Center, featuring 13 fun and festive wagon floats — each fully decked out with iconic Philly landmarks and patriotic flair — plus drill teams and cultural dance performers.
The parade winds its way through the Historic District, passing Independence Hall e o Liberty Bell, and ending on 3rd Street between Chestnut Street and Walnut Street.
Want to help create a float? The public is invited to come to the National Constitution Center for Red, White, & Blue To-Do Decorating Days from June 20 to 23, 2026 during two windows: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 5 p.m.

No final do desfile, na 3rd Street, todos os visitantes e espectadores poderão participar da diversão durante a All-American Block Party, em parceria com a Wawa Welcome America.
Festivities include pay-as-you-go food trucks, family-friendly activities and games, special activations, and extended hours at local museums and attractions and culturally inspired music and dance performances.
The afternoon transforms the Historic District into a free street music festival, with local musicians creating an acoustic, neighborhood-wide concert, with performers at 10 different locations.
The evening brings a bevy of food trucks lining Arch Street between 5th and 6th streets, inviting everyone to picnic on Independence Mall’s great lawn in a new-for-2026 event.
As the sun sets, Wawa Welcome America’s free Salute to Service Concert fills Parque Histórico Nacional da Independência with patriotic fanfare and music, featuring The United States Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus and Queen Latifah.
