🚨🇺🇸 #BREAKING: Crowds surge the entrance as it's announced the Freedom250 events will resume.

[Freedom 250 @Freedom250]

America, it's time to celebrate!

At President Donald J. Trump's direction, gates to the National Mall will reopen at 9:45 PM. The Salute to America celebration will move forward, the President will deliver remarks at 11:00 PM, and the fireworks spectacular will follow.

Rain or shine, the American people deserve a celebration worthy of our nation's historic 250th birthday.

For 250 years, Americans have overcome every challenge with grit, resilience, and determination. A little rain will never diminish our pride, our patriotism, or our celebration of the greatest nation in the history of the world.
