Jefferson City — Governor Mike Parson has ordered the Missouri State Capitol dome to shine red, white, and blue on the evening of July 4, 2024, in celebration of Independence Day.
"The Fourth of July is a time-honored tradition in this country when, as Americans, we come together to celebrate and remember the founding of our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy today," Governor Parson stated. "As we gather together in celebration, we also remember the sacrifices of those who came before us. It is our honor to light the Capitol dome as a symbol of Missourians' unwavering patriotism, and the First Lady and I wish all Missourians a happy and safe Independence Day full of quality time with family and friends."
