The celebrations for the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence peaked early Sunday morning with a historic fireworks display in Washington, D.C., featuring 850,000 pyrotechnics launched from 10 locations, including the Reflecting Pool and eight barges on the Potomac River. Lasting 40 minutes, the show was double the usual length, organized by the Freedom 250 initiative. President Trump delivered a celebratory speech before the display, which started nearly two hours late due to extreme heat warnings affecting 70% of the country. Major events, including parades in Washington and Philadelphia, were canceled due to record temperatures and air quality concerns.
