America's 250th
America's 250th anniversary
July 4th, 2026 marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence.
A small-town celebration for a once-in-a-generation birthday.
The semiquincentennial might be a big word, but the meaning is simple. America turns 250, and communities like Weaverville get to show what freedom, tradition, and neighborly pride look like up close.
This fundraiser is about more than a fireworks finale. It is about giving kids, families, veterans, and visitors a Fourth of July memory that feels worthy of this historic milestone.
When a small town shows up together, the celebration feels personal, powerful, and unforgettable.
1776 to 2026
A straight line from the signing of the Declaration to this hometown sky.
