Celebrate Across Utah
July 4th marked a once-in-a-generation milestone, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Alongside statewide and community partners, Utah cities and counties planned an array of local events, shared experiences, and reflections to encourage all Utahns to connect with this extraordinary anniversary in meaningful ways.
Programming throughout Utah was made possible with the generosity of America250 Utah’s founding sponsors:
Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation, Zions Bank, & Intermountain Health.

Great American Fair
June 25 - July 10 in Washington D.C.
A Utah pavilion was part of the transformation of the National Mall into a bold, state fair-themed celebration of America's 250th anniversary. Through a series of interactive vignettes, the exhibit asked, "Are you a Utah person?" Visitors placed themselves within Utah's iconic landscapes and shared photos for an opportunity to win a trip to the state. Utah's exhibit was recognized with the event's "Best in Show" award, honoring it among the top state pavilions. The Utah pavilion was funded by the Utah State Legislature and staffed by employees of the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement and dozens of volunteers.
