WASHINGTON, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The AMERICAN FREEDOM INITIATIVE (AFI) today announced its Independence Day Weekend Celebration, a premier patriotic gathering taking place July 3–4, 2026, in the nation’s capital. The weekend will feature three signature events designed to celebrate America’s history, honor its founding principles, and create an unforgettable Independence Day experience for attendees from across the country.
The celebration begins on Friday, July 3, 2026, with the Independence Day Ball at the The Westin Georgetown, Washington, D.C.. Guests will enjoy an elegant black-tie evening featuring a reception, formal dinner, special presentations, entertainment, music, dancing, and the opportunity to celebrate America’s freedom alongside fellow patriots in one of Washington’s most distinguished venues.
The festivities continue on Saturday, July 4, 2026, with the National Prayer Breakfast at the JW Marriott Washington, DC. The breakfast will bring together guests for a meaningful morning of fellowship, inspiration, and reflection on the faith and values that have shaped the American story.
