Dear Community Member

Join us for a once-in-a-generation celebration of America’s 250th birthday! A full day of colonial-era demos, music, food, family activities, and fireworks—right here in Juniata County. Save the date and get involved below.

 

What’s Happening

We’re planning a county-wide birthday party with colonial entertainment and education, a Declaration Station, music and reenacting, hands-on demos, art, kids’ activities, and contests. 

When & Where

  • Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026

  • Time: 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Why it Matters

This milestone brings our community together around shared history—much like the 1976 Bicentennial that so many remember fondly. We want everyone to walk away proud of our county’s story, more informed about our roots, and feeling united.

Sponsors: Partner with Us

Local businesses can help bring the day to life—supporting music, demonstrations, and evening fireworks—and we’ll recognize your business in event marketing and on-site signage. Contributions are tax-deductible. See form for additional details.
