The president and first lady will host a Fourth of July fireworks viewing party at the White House for military families in the evening.
“President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will celebrate Independence Day at the White House by welcoming military families to the South Lawn for an afternoon picnic. In the evening, staff and guests will join the military families to enjoy the traditional fireworks display provided by the National Park Service,” the White House announced in late June.
Backyard at White House is set up for this evening’s picnic for military members at 5p, and a 90-minute Fourth of July celebration at 8p with a concert and fireworks.
