Update: Watch the parade live:

President Trump's long-planned Fourth of July celebration is set to kick off Thursday, featuring tanks, the Blue Angels, and of course - lots of fireworks donated by two of the country's largest pyrotechnic companies.

Following a National Independence Day parade on Constitution Avenue starting at 11:45 a.m. eastern, Trump will give a "Salute to America" speech at the Lincoln Memorial, which will feature "music, military demonstrations, flyovers and much more.

Weather permitting, the traditional songs for each branch of the military will be played while their officers stand by the president’s side and a procession of aircraft, including Air Force One and the Blue Angels, roars through the skies overhead. Hundreds of guests, many of them handpicked by the Republican National Committee, will watch from bleachers in a V.I.P. section erected close to the podium. -NYT

At 8 p.m., there will be a concert on the West Lawn of the US Capitol, followed by fireworks at 9:07 p.m.

....and advanced aircraft anywhere in the World. Perhaps even Air Force One will do a low & loud sprint over the crowd. That will start at 6:00P.M., but be there early. Then, at 9:00 P.M., a great (to put it mildly) fireworks display. I will speak on behalf of our great Country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 4, 2019

While ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC have all refused to broadcast the July 4th celebrations, you can catch livestreams from RSBN, Fox10 Pheonix and OANN (h/t The Conservative Treehouse).
