🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 CELEBRATING AMERICA’S 250TH BIRTHDAY. This weekend, families from across the Tri-State area gathered at the Annual America the Beautiful Festival, presented by The Epoch Times and New Century Festivals at New Century in Port Jervis, NY — a small-town celebration anchoring the run-up to America’s 250th birthday. Local bands played on the open-air stage. Children ran across the grass. Veterans, reenactors, and neighbors mingled under the stars and stripes. No politics. No pageantry. Just a community choosing, on its own, to show up. This is the American spirit in its purest form — voluntary, joyful, generational. It doesn’t need a podium or a slogan. It only needs a stage, a song, and people willing to stand together. Two and a half centuries on, that quiet strength remains the country’s deepest source of unity. Happy birthday, America! 🇺🇸 🎂
