On July 4, 2025, America celebrates its 249th Independence Day – a vibrant commemoration of the Declaration of Independence, adopted in 1776, and the founding of a nation built on liberty and unity. This year, the holiday carries special meaning for Independence Avenue Media as well, as we proudly mark our own founding – born on this historic day and dedicated to telling stories that reflect the American spirit.
The Fourth of July is synonymous with fireworks, parades, and patriotic pride. In Washington, D.C., the National Mall hosts a spectacular 17½-minute fireworks display at 9:09 p.m., illuminating the sky above iconic monuments. The “A Capitol Fourth” concert, broadcast live from the U.S. Capitol’s West Lawn at 8:00 p.m. EST, features performances by The Beach Boys, The Temptations, Josh Turner, and more.
President Trump, launching the countdown to America’s 250th anniversary, addressed supporters on July 3 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, emphasizing unity and national pride.
The White House, in a statement released today, honored “the courage of our Founding Fathers, the patriots who forged our freedom, and the heroes who’ve defended it for 249 years,” declaring: “Under President Trump, the American spirit is back—bold, proud, and free.”
Independence Avenue Media is proud to launch its programming on this auspicious day. IAM is committed to fact-based storytelling – explaining U.S. society, foreign policy, and democratic values to global audiences, particularly in regions shaped by authoritarian influence and democratic fragility. Filling the gap left by weakened international broadcasters, we deliver purpose-driven journalism through thoughtful explainers, interviews, field reporting, and expert commentary. We prioritize depth and relevance over clicks, always striving to connect local realities with global conversations.
Happy 4th of July from Independence Avenue Media!
