America< Years in the making
)On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.
On June 14th, with President Donald J. Trump in attendance, we stood in tribute to generations of American soldiers who have defended freedom, upheld our Constitution, and carried the torch of liberty around the world. This historic celebration featured powerful displays of patriotism, including flyovers, military vehicles, living history reenactments, and moving tributes to the courage, sacrifice and commitment of our men and women in uniform.
Across the country, Americans are planning unique and exciting ways to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. America250 has compiled upcoming milestones and opportunities to get engaged and ensure that all Americans can find ways to commemorate this historic moment in our nation’s history.
