President Donald Trump is hosting a military parade Saturday evening in Washington, D.C., in honor of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.
The parade was originally scheduled to start at 6:30 pm ET, but the timing has been bumped up to start just after 6pm, due to the threat of rain.
From Fox News: The parade will stretch down Constitution Avenue, beginning near the Lincoln Memorial and concluding near the Washington Monument at about 9:30 p.m. The parade honors the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army — which was established one year before the signing of the Declaration of Independence — and also coincides with Flag Day and Trump’s 79th birthday.
The patriotic event is part of Trump’s “Task Force 250,” which was established in January by an executive order and coordinates plans celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence on July 4, 2026.
