Mission: Lehigh County commemoration brings the 250th to the people and neighborhoods through civic engagement, local celebrations and legacy projects to create a cultural and economic impact.

On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation. This historic milestone is an opportunity to celebrate our country's past, present and future, here in Lehigh County.

Together we are leading a movement to celebrate YOU; our diverse neighborhoods, beautiful geography, plus rich cultural and historical assets that make Lehigh County a unique treasure.

Home of a founding father and our historical significance in the Revolutionary War, to our worldwide impact in the Industrial Revolution, to the vibrant culture of our ethnically rich communities, Lehigh County will be a jewel to discover.

Watch this space to learn more about the ongoing efforts in Lehigh County for the Semiquincentennial, find volunteer opportunities, and learn about upcoming events.
