This year, we proudly celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence and honor 250 years of freedom, service, and the enduring spirit that unites our nation.

As the holiday falls on a Saturday, the federal observance of Independence Day will take place on Friday, July 3.

Join us July 3–5 at the 75/250 German-American Friendship Festival at the Baumholder Airfield as we celebrate 250 years of American independence and 75 years of German-American friendship, strengthening the bonds and shared values that unite our communities.
