America 250

On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States – the United States of America Semiquincentennial celebration. 



Led nationally by The U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission and its America250 Foundation, the commemoration is a multi-year effort, beginning in 2020, culminating on July 4, 2026, and officially concluding in 2027. 



America250PA hopes to engage all citizens of the Commonwealth, from all 67 counties, with the goal to EDUCATE, PRESERVE, INNOVATE, and CELEBRATE Pennsylvania’s rich history, culture, and future through various programs, projects, and events.


Bucks County has played a pivotal role in some of the most consequential historical moments in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States of America. The Bucks County America250PACommission will endeavor to bring together diverse community stakeholders with the goal of inspiring and encouraging Bucks Countians to learn from our shared past, reflect on the present, and work towards a future that meets and expands upon the ideals of liberty, equality, and democracy that were established at the founding of our nation.
