A national partnership to showcase America’s most iconic places and hidden gems through live cameras, connecting communities, organizations, and audiences worldwide as we celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
EarthCam is bringing together live, authentic views from towns and cities across the country to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
This initiative invites communities large and small to share their view and help tell America’s story as it exists today. Participation is community-driven, rooted in local pride, and powered by live cameras that capture the real world as it unfolds.
No influencers. No staged moments. Just America, seen together, live.
From quiet main streets to iconic skylines, every place has a story.
Share the view that defines your community.
The views that best capture the spirit of a community may be selected for a complimentary EarthCam installation, turning hometown perspective into a live window shared with the entire country and beyond.
This July 4th, America comes together through thousands of shared views, one living story told in real time.
Explore participating communities and see where EarthCam is live today.
