It is noted that due to bad weather, participants of the event on the National Mall in Washington - the main celebration site - were evacuated.
The safety of our guests, performers, and staff is our top priority. Due to the approach of severe storms, Freedom 250, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Park Police, the National Park Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and all public safety partners ask all guests to evacuate the event grounds and seek temporary shelter in a nearby building
Organizers clarified that the event will resume after the weather improves: participants will be allowed to return to the National Mall, but they must go through screening again. Then, once people are let in, Trump is scheduled to speak, and after the speech, there will be a fireworks display.
