The United States is initiating celebrations for the Semiquincentennial, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026. National, statewide, and local groups are collaborating on various public events. A kickoff celebration is scheduled for July 3 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, with President Trump expected to announce plans for a Great America State Fair in 2026. Previous American anniversaries were honored with extensive festivities, such as the Centennial Exposition in 1876 and the Bicentennial celebrations in 1976. Organizers aim to create an ambitious commemorative program for the upcoming milestone.
Parades, pageants, flag-waving and fireworks will all play a role in the United States Semiquincentennial celebrations leading up to July 4, 2026.
A slew of public initiatives and events are already underway including a 250th kickoff celebration on July 3 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
