This patriotic community event will unite residents, veterans, families, and visitors to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary—a milestone known as the Semiquincentennial, marking the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the birth of the United States of America.

A Tribute to Service, Sacrifice, and Freedom

This day serves as a reminder of what our forefathers risked to establish a nation built on liberty and self-governance—and of those who have since stood ready to protect it.
