The rally will be held at 7 p.m. on June 24, a day before the start of “The Great American State Fair,” which is set to run from June 25 to July 10 as one of several events planned for the summer in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
The President said that he would be in attendance. He also said that Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio would be performing, as would the U.S. Army Band, the Armed Forces Choir, the U.S. Marine Band, and the Joint Armed Forces Chorus.
Little else is known about the newly announced rally, or who else may participate.
Rapper Vanilla Ice, who the President didn’t mention in his post, said on Fox News on Thursday that he would like to perform at the event.
“I hope so,” the rapper, also known as Robert Matthew Van Winkle, said when asked if he’ll be part of the rally. “I’m honored to even be invited for this. I’ll be there no matter what.”
