NEW YORK, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US, a powerful public art installation made possible by The Soloviev Foundation, will welcome active, off-duty, and retired military members and their families this Independence Day as the nation begins the official countdown to America's 250th birthday. Situated along the East River, the installation offers a meaningful backdrop for the celebration and live simulcast of the annually anticipated Macy's Fireworks Show.

"This year's 4th of July begins a historic journey toward America's 250th birthday," said Michael Hershman, a decorated Army veteran and CEO of Soloviev Group. "We are proud that Path of Liberty offers a space where neighbors, veterans, and visitors can come together to reflect on our shared values and honor the diverse voices that continue to shape our country."

Stretching from 38th to 41st Street along First Avenue, the six-acre immersive installation transforms the cityscape with a larger-than-life tribute to the founding ideals that unite us. With vibrant visuals and emotional storytelling, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US offers a fresh and inclusive lens on what it means to be American.

The installation, by exhibition and experience design firm C&G Partners and directed by Cannes-selected filmmaker Daniella Vale, features 41 towering interactive screens showcasing striking photography and short films. This brings to life the personal stories of 55 Americans—veterans, librarians, farmers, Indigenous leaders, astronauts, and others—whose lived experiences illuminate the shared principles of liberty, equality, and perseverance.

The exhibit is free and open to the public every Thursday through Saturday from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with walk-ups welcome and advance reservations available at pathoflibertynyc.com.
