America 250

The City of Philadelphia will showcase its many unique and diverse neighborhoods as part of its plans to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

UFC CEO Dana White says a July 4 fight card at the White House is “absolutely happening" as part of the U.S. semiquincentennial celebration.

This October the U.S. will celebrate 250 years of Navy and Marine Corps excellence and the cities of Philadelphia and Camden are playing host to the weeklong schedule of festivities.

A celebration took place in Philadelphia, one that honored the United States Army’s 250th anniversary with all the proud symbolism on display, and the knowledge that the Army’s beginnings are right here in Philadelphia.

President Donald Trump will give remarks at a military parade to honor the Army’s 250th anniversary – coinciding with his 79th birthday. 

The Philadelphia Historic District 250th Committee announced plans for “2026 52 Weeks of Firsts Celebration" and the annual Red, White and Blue To-Do celebration on July 2 in honor of America’s 250th anniversary next year.

Ahead of America's 250th anniversary, celebrations will be held for the next year and one of those big events is America’s Field Trip, an opportunity to earn a trip-of-a-lifetime to visit some of the nation’s beautiful, historic landmarks.

America will mark its 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026, but Philadelphia is getting the party started early with a full line-up of celebrations starting in just a few short weeks.
