Trump says Kennedy Center is closing for 2 years for 'complete rebuilding'

"The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place!" Trump wrote on his social media platform.

In February 2025, Trump fired multiple members from the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees and became its chairman. Several of his administration officials were then installed as board members -- including White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, second lady Usha Vance, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor.

Trump announced in December that the board at the Kennedy Center had voted "unanimously" to rename the building the "Trump-Kennedy Center."

Despite Leavitt and Trump's claims that he has rescued the building financially, the Washington Post reported in late October that ticket sales have plummeted since Trump’s takeover.

Several high-profile artists and shows have canceled appearances at the venue since Trump became its leader, including actress Issa Rae and the Broadway show "Hamilton."
