The White House hosted approximately 7,500 guests for the Fourth of July celebration on the South Lawn.
Thousands of people sat on blankets, stepped around blankets, and stood betweek blankets on the South Lawn. Drinks, popcorn, and beer were served. A large stage was set up for musical acts.
Around 8 pm, First Lady Jill Biden came on stage. President Biden followed her, several steps behind. “Come on, Joe,” Jill said. Jill spoke for a few minutes.
“Now, before we get to our final performer, I’d like to introduce our Commander in Chief, President Joe Biden.”
Biden began speaking.
Biden: “Welcome to your house, the White House. We’re just rentin’.”
“It’s amazing what what a difference music makes. No, no, I really mean it. Think about how music can change moods. Music can make us feel better.”
“It really matters, your showing your support for the military on a day like today.”
“Today’s America’s day.”
Then Jill Biden introduced the next musical act.
President Biden walked down the steps and shook hands with people in the crowd before going into the White House.
Later, President Biden walked out on the balcony of the South Portico as the fireworks began at 9:09 pm. First Lady Jill Biden stood next to him. Members of the Biden family were with him on a balcony as music by the B-52s, The Beach Boys “Surfin’ USA”, Miley Cyrus, and other artists boomed on the sound system and fireworks lit up the sky.
