Fourth of July Train

Celebrate America's 250th Birthday on the Semicentennial Express!

On July 4th, America reaches a milestone only a few generations will ever witness – its 250th anniversary! This year, you’re invited to celebrate it in a way that’s as unforgettable as the occasion itself.

What’s In Store

Step aboard the Semicentennial Express, where the story of America comes to life on the rails. Experience a fully immersive journey through 250 years of innovation, culture, and spirit. From the moment you board, you’ll travel through time, surrounded by the sights, sounds, and flavors that shaped our nation.

As the journey winds down, the celebration continues at Elkhorn Station, our riverside park, with an open-air evening concert! As the sun sets, music fills the air, the atmosphere turns electric, and the night builds toward a one-of-a-kind summer celebration.

Reviews / Testimonials

I had a great time on the train last Friday night, the beer selection on the Refresher is really good!

This is such a fun and unique experience and the staff is so amazing and hardworking to make sure their guests have a great time! Would recommend it over and over!

We went on the Magical Christmas Train and it was the best holiday train we have tried. It was worth the drive from the Bay Area and we will return next year.
