The America250 organization will create the world’s largest American Flag for the nation’s 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
Fox News spoke to those organizing America250, confirming that the flag is expected to be 776 feet wide, 1,492 feet long, and taller than the Empire State Building. The flag’s unveiling is in talks to be held at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, a NASCAR speedway, or a location in Lebanon, Kansas, as the location serves as the geographic center of the nation.
“Everything President Trump does is historic and larger than life,” America250 Executive Director Ari Abergel told the outlet. “America250 will be no different, and we’re kicking things off by breaking a massive world record — creating the world’s largest American flag.”
“The flag will be made in America, and unfurled by hundreds of patriots in an extraordinary moment of national unity as part of America250,” Abergel added.
President Trump established Task Force 250 in January. “It is the policy of the United States, and a purpose of this order, to provide a grand celebration worthy of the momentous occasion of the 250th anniversary of American Independence on July 4, 2026,” Trump’s order read. “It is also the purpose of this order to take other actions to honor the history of our great Nation.”
According to the America250 website, Task Force 250 “invites citizens to have a renewed love of American history, experience the beauty of our country, and ignite a spirit of adventure and innovation that will raise our nation to new heights over the next 250 years.”
