NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Fourth of July marks a major milestone for America as we mark 250 years.
From spectacular fireworks to special exhibits and patriotic parades, we have everything you need to know to mark the momentous occasion.
ABC is marking America's 250th anniversary with 24 hours of unparalleled programming called "Disney Celebrates America."
The multi-platform broadcast, led by ABC News "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir, features coverage across all 50 states, continues all day on the Fourth of July.

President Donald Trump delivered July Fourth remarks from the National Mall on Saturday evening, hours after the event was evacuated due to weather conditions.

After the "Salute to America 250 Celebration & Fireworks" event in Washington, D.C., was delayed Saturday night amid thunderstorms, Freedom 250 officials announced that the National Mall will reopen at 9:45 p.m. ET "at President Donald J. Trump's direction."
Trump will deliver remarks at 11 p.m. ET, followed by fireworks, organizers said.

With severe thunderstorms in the forecast, the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks spectacular started a little earlier on Saturday night.
The spectacular fireworks show was originally scheduled for 9:25 p.m. on Saturday, but was moved up to 9:02 p.m.
The new start time was expected to give the celebration a narrow window to beat out the incoming storms.
Due to severe storms, the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks will start earlier at 9:02 p.m.
Fireworks were originally scheduled to start at 9:25 p.m.
