Lee Greenwood will co-headline the historic Countdown 250 Ball on the eve of America’s 250th Birthday on July 3 at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.

The event will bring together guests from across the nation for an all-inclusive celebration featuring live entertainment, patriotic tributes and a midnight countdown. Greenwood will be joined by a host of performers, special guests, and tributes celebrating America’s history, heroes, achievements, and future. The event will also feature historic, immersive experiences and attractions created specifically for America’s semiquincentennial celebration. The celebration will culminate in the 1,000 Bells of Freedom midnight countdown.

The evening will also include presentation of the All-American Hero Awards and All-American Icon Awards, recognizing individuals whose service, leadership, accomplishments, influence, and dedication have helped shape America.

Currently announced 2026 All-American Hero Award Recipients include Senator Elizabeth Dole, Captain Luis Avila, Claudia Avila and Lt. Col. (Ret.) Deborah Snyder. The 2026 All-American Icon Award Recipients include Greenwood; Tony Orlando, Bob Anderson, Jordan Burroughs and Mike Moyer. 

“America’s 250th anniversary is a once-in-a-generation milestone,” says Mike Harrigan, Founder and Executive Producer of Countdown 250. “The Countdown 250 Ball is designed to be more than an event. It is an opportunity to celebrate our nation’s history, honor extraordinary Americans, experience unforgettable entertainment and historic immersive attractions, and be part of a powerful midnight countdown as America approaches its 250th birthday.”

Additional heroes, icons, entertainers, distinguished guests, and immersive experiences will be announced in the coming weeks.
