America 250 - Berlin

About Give 250 Connecticut
In 2026, the United States will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the country. The America 250 | CT Commission, administered by CT Humanities, has been tasked with guiding this milestone in the state of Connecticut.
Please consider donating to Give to America 250 Berlin | Give 250 Connecticut to support local events celebrating this momentous anniversary. Your contribution will help the America 250 Berlin Steering Committee organize a variety of potential community activities, including:
- A town-wide scavenger hunt
- A Theatre Guild production of 1776, featuring excerpts from the original Broadway musical
- A potential Yankee Peddler Day — with hopes of ending the day with fireworks!
In addition to local events, several statewide celebrations are planned, such as:
- July 4, 2026 – Nationwide Bell Ringing
- July 5, 2026 – America’s Potluck
- July 8, 2026 – The Spirit of America (nationwide readings of the Declaration of Independence)
