Philadelphia: 2026
In 2026, the United States will observe the 250th anniversary of its founding. The commemoration carries special significance for Philadelphia. As host to the Continental Congress and witness to the Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia is widely regarded as the birthplace of the United States. Philadelphians should enjoy every opportunity to participate in the upcoming Semiquincentennial, both to reflect on our history and to imagine our future.
