Celebrating 250 years of the United States of America We’re a city filled with spirit. We’re a city full of passion. We’re Philadelphians, who are dreamers and doers and tackle every single day with a lot of heart and a whole lot of gusto. We’re committed to making positive change for all and dedicated to making a real impact. The year 2026 provides an opportunity to come together to honor our great city—where America first declared its independence almost 250 years ago—and set ambitious goals for change. To make history, together.
