Fact check: When were the permits filed for 250th army festival

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, the permits for the 250th Army festival were filed at the end of March ^[1]. This is the only specific timeframe provided across all sources examined. The permit application preceded the actual event, which took place on June 14, 2025, celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th birthday with a grand military parade and celebration in Washington, D.C.

The sources reveal that the event required significant coordination with multiple agencies, including the National Park Service, which issued a Record of Determination for temporary restrictions of access and public use limits in certain areas of The National Mall and Memorial Parks and National Capital Parks—East ^[2]. The celebration included various activities such as festival exhibits, media access arrangements, and extensive security and parking coordination ^{[3] [4]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about the complexity and scope of the permitting process for such a large-scale military celebration. The analyses reveal that this wasn't simply a single permit filing, but rather a comprehensive coordination effort involving multiple federal agencies and departments.

Key missing context includes:

• The National Park Service's involvement in restricting public access to federal parklands ^[2]
• The extensive logistical coordination required for media access, security arrangements, and crowd management ^{[3] [4]}
• The significance of the timing - filing permits at the end of March for a June 14th event demonstrates the substantial lead time required for such major federal celebrations

The sources also indicate this was part of America250's broader commemoration efforts, suggesting the event was coordinated within a larger framework of national anniversary celebrations ^[5].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself contains no apparent misinformation or bias - it's a straightforward factual inquiry about permit filing dates. However, the question's simplicity may underestimate the complexity of the permitting process for major federal military celebrations.

The limited information available across multiple sources suggests that permit filing details may not be widely publicized or easily accessible to the general public. Only one source ^[1] provided the specific timeframe, while other sources focused on event details, logistics, and activities rather than the administrative processes ^{[2] [6] [5] [3] [4]}. This could indicate that permit filing information is either not routinely disclosed or requires specific government transparency requests to obtain.
