Celebrating Constitution Day and Citizenship Day 2023 with Naturalization Ceremonies
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will celebrate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day this year by welcoming more than 6,900 new citizens in over 130 naturalization ceremonies across the nation between Sept. 17 and 22.
Each year, USCIS celebrates Constitution Day and Citizenship Day – and Constitution Week – by celebrating the connection between the Constitution and citizenship, reflecting on what it means to be a citizen of the United States, holding special naturalization ceremonies across the country, and releasing new tools and resources that can help aspiring applicants pursue citizenship.
Following each naturalization ceremony, USCIS encourages new U.S. citizens and their families and friends to share their naturalization photos on social media using the hashtags #NewUSCitizen, #ConstitutionWeek, and #CitizenshipDay.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of special ceremonies where USCIS will mark the occasion.
