A Capitol Fourth airs Thursday, July 4 at 8 p.m. and again at 9:30 p.m. on WXXI-TV and streams live on the WXXI app.

This July 4th, A Capitol Fourth celebrates 45 spectacular years as America’s national Independence Day tradition, broadcasting live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Beloved actor and television host Alfonso Ribeiro returns to host in this milestone anniversary event. As the nation celebrates America’s 249th birthday, the evening will feature all-star musical and patriotic performances from pop, country, R&B, classical and gospel artists. Enjoy performances from the iconic multi-platinum selling music legends The Beach Boys, Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum-selling country music superstar Josh Turner, four-time Grammy Award-winning Gospel music legend Yolanda Adams, acclaimed singer-songwriter and AMERICAN IDOL Season 22 winner Abi Carter and more. Joined by the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of premier pops conductor Jack Everly, the 2025 edition of America’s biggest birthday party features the greatest display of Independence Day fireworks anywhere in the USA lighting up the iconic D.C. skyline.
