the nation and the world in 2026. 

With your help in 2015, USA250 is designing a robust tourism initiative for the nation's 250th, pursuing major event commitments for 2026, and enlisting a broad range of leaders to join our planning team. We are organizing ideas and leaders for the 250th around America's founding values: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
