AUGUST 1, 2026 — Thousands gather in Clearwater for historic ceremony marking the next chapter in the Scientology religion’s worldwide mission.
Beneath a sky illuminated by spectacular fireworks, more than 7,000 Scientologists and guests gathered Saturday evening for the groundbreaking of L. Ron Hubbard Hall, celebrating a landmark moment in the continuing evolution of the Scientology religion’s spiritual headquarters in Clearwater.
Scientologists from 72 nations joined the historic ceremony, reflecting the international significance of the milestone. Together they marked the beginning of a project that will serve generations to come.
Presiding over the evening was Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, who spoke of the significance of the ground upon which the Hall will rise.
“There are moments in history when a single location transcends the ordinary—when it ceases to be merely a point upon a map and instead becomes a point of reference for all that follows.
“Tonight is such a moment.
“Because what begins upon this ground will not remain upon this ground. Its influence will extend across continents, across cultures, across generations—until its reach encompasses every corner of our worldwide religion.”
Named in honor of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, the Hall will serve as the home of the Church’s International Events—simultaneously broadcast to Scientologists around the world. Designed specifically for those global broadcasts, every aspect of the venue has been engineered to support events of exceptional scale, precision and production quality.
