What is America 250? America 250 is the nationwide commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026—a multi-year effort to reflect on our past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look toward the future we're building for the next generation. This historic milestone marks the 250th anniversary of America as an independent nation, bringing together communities, schools, and organizations to celebrate our shared heritage and founding principles. Congress created the United States Semiquincentennial Commission to plan and coordinate the observance with federal partners and civic organizations; the Department of the Interior is named in the statute as a lead partner. The 250th anniversary of America represents more than just a date on the calendar—it's an opportunity for every American to participate in honoring our nation's journey through educational programs, community events, and meaningful displays including America 250 flags that commemorate this extraordinary achievement in our nation's history.
