America 250 v. Freedom 250: What's the difference?

Two separate celebrations, America 250 and Freedom 250, are marking the U.S. 250th birthday, with America 250 being a nonprofit, nonpartisan initiative by Congress and Freedom 250 launched by President Donald Trump. Freedom 250 faced criticism for partisanship and entertainer withdrawals, while Trump replaced them with a rally at the Great American State Fair. Events for both celebrations are planned in different locations.
