Independence Fireworks at Mount Vernon 2025
Event Details
Celebrate Independence Day June 27-28 and July 4 at George Washington's Mount Vernon with a fireworks show each day.
There will be family-friendly activities, patriotic music, a variety of 18th-century demonstrations and more. Join General Washington inside the Interpretive Center for a meet-and-greet then hear his special remarks at the Piazza as he kicks off the fireworks extravaganza. Walk down to visit the Washington Tomb for a special wreath-laying; this event is one of the few times this area is open in the evening.
Sit on the east lawn and watch the fireworks over the Potomac River.
