Tangent<\/h2>\n

Washington\u2019s annual \u201cA Capitol Fourth\u201d concert, which airs on PBS and is separate from Trump\u2019s festivities, is slated to take place as scheduled Friday, U.S. Capitol Police announced<\/u> Friday morning. The concert will take place outdoors on the West Lawn of the Capitol building and feature performances<\/u> by a number of musical artists, including Trace Adkins, Patti LaBelle and Alan Jackson. The public will only be allowed to enter at 7 p.m., however, one hour before the concert begins. Police had previously closed a rehearsal for the event Thursday to the public due to the weather.<\/p>\n

What to Watch for<\/h2>\n

How well the fireworks event will run. Sources cited by MS Now<\/u> expressed concerns about how the company behind Saturday\u2019s event\u2014which has also handled the much-maligned<\/u> state fair\u2014will handle the logistics of the massive event, which presents huge security challenges alongside the task of providing enough water and shelter to keep people safe in the heat. It also remains to be seen if the extreme temperatures and Trump\u2019s lengthy planned speech could dissuade people from attending and mean crowds will be lower than anticipated.<\/p>\n

Surprising Fact<\/h2>\n

In addition to the health risks posed by the heat, experts have also expressed concerns about potential pollution risks from Trump\u2019s ambitious fireworks display, which will launch an unprecedented number of fireworks from multiple points around the city. The National Park Service cautioned the display could create a \u201chazardous\u201d amount of pollution, according to a draft analysis reported by Politico<\/u>, and experts have cautioned<\/u> sensitive groups like people with asthma and the elderly should consider leaving the city or at least stay indoors to avoid exposure. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a disaster,\u201d Dr. Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis, told MS Now<\/u>. \u201cIt\u2019s going to create a lot of particles in the atmosphere, and those particles are going to contain lots of toxic metals.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Big Number<\/h2>\n

Up to $25,000. That\u2019s how much people could pay<\/u> if they want to beat the heat and watch the fireworks from the Kennedy Center\u2019s roof terrace instead. The most expensive ticket package covers 36 guests and three tables, while cheaper options range from a $425 \u201cBlue Pass\u201d ticket at the lowest tier to a $15,000 package for 24 guests.<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

Trump has poured resources into the July 4 celebration, reportedly upending<\/u> previous plans for America\u2019s 250th anniversary and replacing it with his own celebrations like the Great American State Fair. The efforts are part of a broader intense focus the president has had on Washington, which has also led to controversial moves like repainting the Reflecting Pool<\/u>, demolishing the White House\u2019s East Wing to build a ballroom, and planning a new triumphal arch<\/u> in the city. Many of those plans have become controversial or resulted in issues, with algae blooming<\/u> in the Reflecting Pool and the new coating peeling off, the ballroom construction getting tied up in litigation<\/u> and the State Fair drawing ridicule<\/u> for its small crowds.<\/p>\n
