America’sBlock Party

Join the Celebration!

The biggest Fourth of July in American history starts with you. America’s Block Party will unite communities nationwide on July 3 and 4 for live music, local celebration, and something new: a call to give back. This year, we’re launching Giving 4th — a movement to transform Independence Day into the largest single day of charitable giving in U.S. history.

Bring the celebration home. Pick a cause. Make it count. Register to host an official America’s Block Party and get a digital toolkit with everything you need to plan your event. Then give to a charity that means something to you because July 4th has always been more than fireworks.

Looking for a bigger party? In addition to local America’s Block Parties in neighborhoods all across the nation, America250 will be celebrating at concerts, festivals, and other major events this Independence Day. Join us for one of these milestone events!

July 4 at One Times Square

July 4-5, 2026 | New York, NY

America250 will bring the once-in-a-generation Independence Day to the 19th floor Times Square Skywalk, a 360-degree wraparound viewing deck, offering a unique river-to-river vantage point of the Crossroads of the World, Manhattan street grid, and city skyline. Visitors can read the Declaration of Independence transcribed on the glass wall of the Skywalk, reflect on its meaning, and capture one-of-a-kind photo moments with the founding document’s words set against the Times Square streetscapes. Visitors will also have the opportunity to write their own message of giving and reflection on a piece of confetti that will be released in Times Square during this year’s New Year’s Eve celebration.

Complimentary tickets are valid for general admission to the Skywalk only and subject to capacity limitations.
