Trump's tweet said the event will include fireworks and entertainment, along with "an address by your favorite President, me!"

The President did not say if this would include a military parade, which he planned but canceled in 2018, citing a high cost.
Washington D.C. already celebrates Independence Day annually with fireworks on the National Mall and a parade on Constitution Avenue.
