Seattle Center partners with the Ethnic Heritage Council to host this ceremony on July 4th each year at the Fisher Pavilion courtyard. Annually, it can be anticipated that as many as 500 petitioners from more than 70 countries will be sworn in as new U.S. citizens. The program includes speeches, the swearing-in ceremony, presentation of a Spirit of Liberty award to a new citizen, music by a Navy band and choir, voter registration and passport processing.
