Organizers defend the celebration as a unifying, nonpartisan tribute to American freedom, featuring a massive fair across all 50 states, while acknowledging artists’ right to withdraw. The event, part of a broader Trump administration anniversary lineup that includes an IndyCar race and a cage-fight, is set to run June 25–July 10 on Washington D.C.’s National Mall.
