"On July 4, 2026, New York and New Jersey will become the center of the nation's 250th birthday celebration, and the scale is honestly jaw-dropping. There will be towering tall ships, roaring jets, fireworks over Manhattan, and millions of people lining the waterfront together. Organized by Sail4th 250, the weeklong celebration will be the largest international maritime event in U.S. history, eclipsing every OpSail event that came before it."
"International Tall Ships: 60 ships from more than 20 countries, including massive Class A vessels sailing past landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Verrazzano Bridge. U.S. and Allied Naval Vessels: 40+ ships participating in the International Naval Review 250. Aircraft Flyovers: 100+ planes, led by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Fleet Week: Rescheduled from Memorial Day to July for Sail4th 250."
