MISSION
Utah’s America250 commission will honor our nation’s past, celebrate our present, and inspire a future that upholds the values that define us as a nation and state.
VISION
Statewide America250 activities and celebrations will generate a wider appreciation of history’s relevance to contemporary challenges and inspire Utahns to take steps to improve our communities, state, and nation.
Planning America’s Birthday, With Utah Style
In 2026, Utah will join with other states to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Utahns will come together to reflect on our nation’s past, build community, and look toward the future.
In 2023 Gov. Spencer J. Cox and the Utah Legislature created Utah’s America250 Commission with the charge to create opportunities for Utahns to celebrate during the upcoming years. The Utah Commission is committed to honor the signing of the Declaration of Independence, not just as a pivotal moment in American history but through the unique and rich lens of Utah’s heritage.
This commission endeavors to spark unity, engagement, and education across Utah, bringing together individuals from all walks of life in a shared journey of historical discovery and reflection. We are dedicated to creating initiatives that resonate deeply with Utahns through the strength of our partnerships and communities to foster a connection to our past that is both enlightening and inspiring.
