Bell Ringing Across America!

The National Bell Festival invites bells and bell towers across America to ring out together at 2:00pm Eastern on July 4, 2026, creating a canopy of sound over our nation. Cathedrals and churches, community organizations and historical structures, national parks and memorials, and people from all states and territories are encouraged to gather and contribute to the sound.

Then, tune-in to hear the U.S. Semi-quincentennial Bell ring out for the first time during our live streaming event at 2:50pm Eastern.

Staff from the Town of Waterford will be ringing its bell from Town Hall.
