President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” contains $150 million for “events, celebrations, and activities surrounding the observance and commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States” in 2026, Reason first reported.

The $150 million will be sent to the Department of the Interior and remain available until 2028, though it’s still unclear exactly what it will be used for.

The cost is exorbitant even for Trump, who has a long history of spending taxpayer money on large celebrations.

Fourth of July celebrations cost the government $7 million per year from 2016 to 2018, according to the Washington Post, until Trump spent $13 million on the “Salute to America” event in 2019. The event used $2.5 million originally set aside for upgrades to national parks, and VIP tickets were distributed to members of the Republican National Committee and some of Trump’s largest donors, Newsweek reported.

Fourth of July parties in D.C. and Mount Rushmore cost the government $14.6 million in 2020, according to the Government Accountability Office, even as many Americans were struggling through the Covid 19 pandemic

And, of course, this year’s June 14 parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army cost taxpayers between $25 million and $45 million.

Washington has been billing taxpayers for its parties long before Trump was president. In 2008, the National Park Service got $25 million to celebrate its 100th birthday — even though the birthday wasn’t until 2016.

For years, the Democratic and Republican national conventions used public funding for confetti, balloons, food, alcohol and more, including $35.4 million in 2012. The practice was banned in 2014.

However the $150 million for events and celebrations is used, it is sure to be extravagant.
