It was an honor for 22@Network Barcelona to be invited to one of the most emblematic events of the year, the 249th anniversary celebration of the United States’ independence, hosted by the U.S. Consulate in Barcelona.

The festive gathering brought together more than a thousand guests, including local authorities, institutional representatives, business leaders, civil society organizations, and members of the security forces.

Held in the lush gardens of the Consulate, the event offered a vibrant glimpse into how this important national holiday is celebrated in the United States. 

The U.S. Consul General Lia Miller reaffirmed the United States' ongoing commitment to investing in strategic alliances that promote shared security and prosperity. Her words underscored the value of transatlantic partnerships and the essential role of collaboration in shaping resilient, innovative communities.
