Philadelphia is the birthplace of American democracy, and has always been at the forefront of our freedom. As we approach 250 years of our nation’s founding, the meaning of this moment rings as loud and true as ever, particularly here in our City and across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We look forward to showcasing our great City during America250 and we cannot wait to welcome the nation and the world for a year packed with one-in-a-lifetime events right here for PHILADELPHIA250 in 2026. ——
