President Donald Trump has announced a massive Trump rally on July 4 at the Lincoln Memorial to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

The US President unveiled his plans on Truth Social post, casting the July 4 event on the National Mall as one of his own rallies.

“We are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,’” Trump wrote.

“Starting at 7 P.M. EST, this HUGE Celebration will honor our Country's People, Spirit, Strength, Resolve, and Triumphs.”

The evening will feature keynote remarks from Trump, a spectacular military airshow and flyovers. Around more than 300 members of talented Military bands, Ceremonial units and Orchestras will perform Patriotic Melodies and American Classics, including the president’s own playlist as a part of celebrations, as announced by Trump in the post.

The most spectacular rally will also feature “the largest formation of Joint Military Music and Ceremonial performances in History.”

Moreover, on this day, the audience will also witness “incredible flyovers and airshows featuring our top military pilots and equipment.”

The historic event will be concluded by “the largest fireworks show in history, right here in our Nation's Capital.”

“Do not miss it. See you on JULY 4th in Washington, D.C.,” Trump wrote.

The announcement comes after the White House successfully hosted UFC Freedom 250 event to celebrate America's 250th anniversary and Donald Trump's 80th birthday.
