Kennedy Family Reunites for Massive Fourth of July Celebration

After the entire family, spanning multiple generations, got together for their annual Fourth of July photo, Kerry Kennedy—the third daughter of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy—shared a glimpse into their massive celebration.

“Happy birthday Chris, Kathleen and America,” she captioned a July 5 Instagram post, referencing family members Chris Kennedy, who turned 62 on the holiday, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, who turned 72.

Dozens of family members cheered while on an outdoor lawn on what appears to be the family’s estate in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Meanwhile, the photographer shouted, “Happy birthday, happy birthday,” before panning to the most beautiful sunset over the water.

In a separate post, the 65-year-old paid tribute to her mom Ethel Kennedy—who died in October 2024 at age 96—with a sweet throwback photo.

“Every year, Mum led the annual Fourth of July parade in Hyannis Port from her red, white, and blue-decked golf cart,” Kerry wrote on Instagram July 4. “But she also knew that patriotism means more than celebration.”

“In 2018, Mum participated in a 24-hour hunger strike to protest Pres. [Donald] Trump’s cruel ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy,” she continued. “She understood that loving your country means holding it accountable, and fighting to make it better.”

So, Kerry encouraged her followers to remember what Independence Day is truly about in addition to enjoying their barbecues and beach days.

“Today is a day for fireworks and family, for cookouts and joy, but also for reflection,” she added. “Reflection on who we are, and the kind of country we want to be. Miss you, Mum.”

After all, the death of the Kennedy family matriarch truly marked the end of an era.

"It is with our hearts full of love that we announce the passing of our amazing grandmother, Ethel Kennedy," grandson Joe Kennedy III posted to X on Oct. 10. "She died this morning from complications related to a stroke suffered last week."

"Along with a lifetime's work in social justice and human rights," he continued, "our mother leaves behind nine children, 34 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren, along with numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom love her dearly."

It must be so fun to come from a huge, rich family like theirs.

The get-togethers must be full of gossip and drama.

Oh, and I hate Jack's new buzz cut. He looks so much better with longer hair.

I noticed in the photo at R3, that the majority are 20 and 30 something year old young men and women.

I'll bet the younger family members invited lots of their friends, and that place must be like hook-up central.

Amazing that Joan Kennedy is still alive at age 88 after decades of alcoholism. She was such a drunk that she would drink mouthwash when they took away all the bottles she had hidden around the house.

I hope they tossed RFK, Jr into the drink as a "prank". Alternatively, they could have broken one of his limbs playing touch football.

It seems like Bobby Kennedy's children make up the heart of the "Kennedy Family" now.

By far, Bobby had the most kids (11), resulting in the most grandkids and great grandkids.

JFK only had Caroline and JFK Jr.

Teddy Kennedy, the Shrivers (Eunice Kennedy), the Lawfords (Patricia Kennedy), and the Smiths (Jean Kennedy) had relatively small families by comparison. Teddy had 3, Eunice had 5, Patricia had 4, and Jean had 2.

Joe Jr. and Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy both died young, and Rosemary was an invalid.

Since RFK Jr. is head of Bobby's line of the family, I guess that would kind of make him the "patriarch" of the Kennedy family now.

No wonder Maria Shriver, Caroline, and some of the other more prominent family members stay away.

Jackie hated this type of event and put her foot down about it during their marriage. JFK was considering buying a home near Jackie’s mother in Newport as a summer home before he died.

The first time Jackie went to Hyannis, those gymteacheresque Kennedy sisters really put het through her paces, causing Jackie to sprain her ankle. Jackie compared the behavior to a sorority hazing.

Jackie was closest to Jean of the three sisters. Her older sons were the same age as Caroline and JFK Jr, and their apartments in New York were close to each other. Pat and Jean were invited to the Onassis wedding.

Jackie did have a more complicated relationship with Pat. Pat was furious when Jackie and a post-divorce Peter Lawford shared a rental home in Hawaii when they took their kids on vacation, although Jackie’s boyfriend at the time was present too. Years later, Jackie switched the place cards at the wedding of Pat and Peter’s daughter Sydney: so Peter would sit next to her, not Pat. Pat had an assistant/caretaker living with her, and he was told never to bring up Jackie in front of Pat.

Jackie didn’t have much in common with Eunice, who would leave the house looking like a bag lady. Jackie became closer to Rose after she married Onassis and didn’t need the Kennedy money.

As an aside, Sydney Lawford has sons and they are much more attractive than the other (living) Kennedys.

[quote] Who is the patriarch these days

Obviously, it's RFK Jr.

I would say Caroline is the matriarch, even though she hates RFK Jr.

But since RFK Jr. has 10 brothers and sisters, along with 6 kids of his own, it's safe to say that his branch of the family has the most members - by far.

If you multiply RFK's kids by even 2 or 3, you get 20 or 30 grandkids. Then multiply their kids by 2 or 3, and you get 40 or 60 great grandkids.

That's a lot of fucking people from Bobby Kennedy's line of the family.

Compare that with Caroline and her two kids, and one grandchild. That's nothing.

And as someone else upthread mentioned, RFK Jr. is the highest profile Kennedy right now, so he is most definitely the family patriarch, by far.

Here is a summary: Charlie Welsh Terrier Kennedy’s personal favorite; often photographed. Pushinka Mixed (descendant of a Soviet space dog) Gift from Nikita Khrushchev, daughter of Strelka. Clipper German Shepherd Given by supporters in Illinois. Shannon Irish Cocker Spaniel Gift from Ireland’s president. Wolf Irish Wolfhound Also a gift from Ireland. White Tips Mixed breed puppy One of Pushinka’s puppies, born at the White House. Blackie Mixed breed puppy Another of Pushinka’s puppies. Butterfly Mixed breed puppy Another of Pushinka’s puppies. Streaker Mixed breed puppy Another of Pushinka’s puppies.
