Freedom 250 CEO Addresses Performer Controversies, Security Concerns

Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach declared that events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary will be secure, adding that the lineup will feature plenty of entertainers following criticism that performers are fleeing the celebration.  

“Look, we’ve got so many entertainers here,” he told the Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “We’ve got a military band. We have all these different acts. You have all these great different speakers.” 

And safety “is a big emphasis,” he asserted. “We are working with all the bodies. From, you know, the Secret Service, local police, Federal Park Service, all that. So, you know, we’ve got it secure.” 

Freedom 250 is a weeks-long celebration of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. It features events nationwide focused on America’s founding, civic engagement, and future initiatives to unite Americans and honor the country on its 250th birthday. 

A public-private partnership, its events include Rededicate 250, a prayer event in Washington, D.C.; UFC Freedom 250; the Great American State Fair; Salute to America 250; and Rushmore 250, to be held at the historic site. 

Several musical acts were set to perform at the Great American State Fair but dropped out, mainly for partisan reasons. Country singer Martina McBride was set to perform on June 25. She explained on X that she had signed up “to perform at a nonpartisan event,” but that “things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.”
