The National Archives Foundation is hosting the Spirit of Independence Festival, a spectacular multi-day festival taking place from June 4-6, 2026 on Constitution Avenue to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Hosted beneath a tent spanning two city blocks in front of the National Archives—the home of the original Declaration of Independence—the Spirit of Independence Festival will include free daytime events for families and three evening benefit events to support the National Archives Foundation and its effort to engage the American public with our nation’s history.
From free daytime programming like a patriotic pet “yappy hour” to a “Stars and Stories” Fest with Disney characters, there’s something for everyone to enjoy throughout the multi-day festival. See the full lineup of events and find more details here.
Reserve free tickets to daytime programming and purchase individual tickets to select evening programs. Guests who reserve tickets online will receive complimentary access to the National Archives Museum.
