Governor Rhoden Extends Invitation to Trump for Independence Day Celebration in South Dakota | State Update


President Trump’s return to the White House could bring back fireworks to Mount Rushmore this Independence Day. Governor Larry Rhoden and Rep. Dusty Johnson are urging Trump to grant a National Park Service permit to allow pyrotechnics at the monument. Rhoden, in a letter to the White House, reminisced about the 2020 fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore, emphasizing the importance of honoring monumental leaders. The letters were also sent to the state’s congressional delegation and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum.

Under the Biden administration, fireworks permits at Mount Rushmore have been denied due to environmental concerns, fire risks, and objections from Native American tribes. However, there is optimism that Trump’s return could pave the way for fireworks to return to the monument. Former Governor Kristi Noem pledged to bring back Independence Day celebrations to Mount Rushmore in 2026, when the United States turns 250 years old.

Rep. Johnson is in support of a full-scale Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore and has urged Trump through a letter to consider hosting fireworks or a similar celebratory display during his second term. The congressman acknowledges the level of planning and public safety required for such an event but believes Trump’s administration is capable of the task.

Both Noem and Rhoden are enthusiastic about the idea of bringing fireworks back to Mount Rushmore each July, emphasizing the significance of celebrating America’s history and leadership. With Trump’s return to the White House, hopes are high for a grand Independence Day celebration at the Black Hills monument.
