America’s 250th Anniversary Celebration

The organization America250 invites everyone to take part in this national commemoration—through local events, shared experiences, and meaningful opportunities to reflect on our country’s past and the future we are shaping together. See the National A250 webpage.

Closer to home, communities across Washington are hosting events throughout the year to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary. These local activities offer meaningful ways to connect with our shared history and take part in this statewide commemoration. See OGS A250 events and A250 events in Washington state.
