Washington, D.C. celebrated the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence with a historic fireworks display early Sunday morning, featuring 850,000 pyrotechnics launched from ten locations, including the Reflecting Pool and the Potomac River. The 40-minute show, double the usual length, followed a speech by President Donald Trump and military flyovers. Despite the celebration, a severe heat wave affected 70% of the country, leading to the cancellation of traditional parades in Washington and Philadelphia. The National Park Service warned of dangerous air quality and advised the public to limit exposure to pollution for several hours after the event.
