How Americans are celebrating the Fourth of July in 2026
BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) – The Fourth of July has always been an important holiday across the nation. For many members of the community, the 250th anniversary milestone makes this year’s celebration feel especially important.
From large-scale public events and political gatherings to barbecues and vacations, Americans have been preparing to celebrate the fourth in a variety of ways. Crab Orchard resident Larry Lane said he is proud to be an American. Though he said he feels as though an intensified focus on politics and the general political climate have created a more divisive dynamic for Americans in recent years.
“The fourth used to mean a whole lot but they’re doing different things that I don’t care about,” he said. “It’s more political now, I think. Of course, that’s my opinion.”

Happy Independence Day from The A.V. Club
It’s the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Well, actually, tomorrow is, but the birthday falls on a Saturday, so Friday is the federal holiday. Perhaps it’s appropriate for a semiquincentennial that feels… like this for the actual holiday to not fall on the actual day. All of this pontificating is to say that we, The A.V. Club, are away from the desk today because it is the federal holiday marking Independence Day. Regularly scheduled news programming will resume tomorrow, and, yes we know it’s a little odd.
If you haven’t decamped to the beach and if you’re not one of the untold dozens exploring the National Mall this week, we’ll still have a few things for you to read later today. In film, we’ll be exploring the films of 1976, which captured the national mood during the United States’ last big birthday: The bicentennial. Over in TV, our recaps of Cape Fear continue, as do our recaps of TV Club Classic Quantum Leap. And in games, William Hughes shares his latest Game Theory. Enjoy the holiday, whatever that might mean to you in 2026—we’ll see you tomorrow!
