MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL, S.D. – South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden says fireworks are coming back to Mount Rushmore in 2026.
In a news release Tuesday, Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden announced the details of next year’s Fourth of July fireworks display at Mount Rushmore.
The state, along with the Department of the Interior are moving forward with planning for the Mount Rushmore Fireworks celebration to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday. Rhoden and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to move forward with planning.
“Through this joint effort, the Department looks forward to ensuring the two and a half centuries of American leadership, growth, and strength are honored during this historic celebration,” Bergum said in the news release.
Back in February, Rhoden and Burgum agreed that fireworks would return to Mount Rushmore in 2026. The MOA serves as the legal binding document.
