Details

Celebrate July 4th at Monticello, the home of the author of the Declaration of Independence! For over 60 years on July 4th, Monticello's West Lawn has transformed into an outdoor courtroom, where dozens of new citizens take the Oath of Citizenship to become Americans.
We'll mark the 249th anniversary of the country with award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns as our keynote speaker. This one-of-a-kind event is FREE and features a morning filled with family activities, festive food and music, and more!
For the comfort of all in attendance, this year's ceremony will take place under a large, fan-cooled tent.
