Sharing the Spirit of America: Reading the Declaration of Independence

Join communities across Michigan on July 8, 2026, to publicly read the Declaration of Independence—here’s when, where, and how to take part.

On July 8, 2026, Michigan will lift its voice—together—in a synchronized reading of the Declaration of Independence. This isn’t a reenactment; it’s a renewal. We’re inviting every community, in multiple languages, to hear and claim the promises that launched a nation.
