# Brooks & Dunn and “Only in America” — The Anthem That Belongs at America’s 250th Celebration
Some songs become hits. Others become part of a nation’s identity.
For millions of country music fans, Brooks & Dunn’s “Only in America” is one of those rare songs.
Every time its familiar melody begins to play, people hear more than music. They hear the story of small towns, hardworking families, big dreams, and the spirit of freedom that has helped define America for generations. It is a song that inspires pride, unity, and the belief that anything is possible.
“Only in America” was never meant to be heard in silence.
It was made for waving flags, hands over hearts, and thousands of voices singing together during moments that feel larger than life itself.
For decades, Brooks & Dunn have proven why they remain one of the most iconic duos in country music history. With timeless hits, sold-out crowds, and a sound that continues to resonate across generations, they are more than entertainers. They are part of America’s story.
From June 25 through July 10, 2026, the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., marking the historic celebration of 250 years of American independence. It promises to be one of the most significant national celebrations in the country’s history.
And that raises a simple question many fans are already asking:
If America is celebrating 250 years of freedom, what better stage could there be for Brooks & Dunn to perform “Only in America” before millions of people across the nation?
It would be more than a performance.
It would be a historic moment.
