It's Time to Celebrate!

On August 1, 2026, Colorado celebrates 150 years of statehood—a milestone for a state known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and bold, independent spirit. Colorado was the only state admitted to the Union between 1867 and 1889, a testament to its unique role in shaping the American West.

This celebration comes during a historic year for the nation. July 4, 2026, marks the 250th birthday of the United States and the 200th anniversary of the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson—Founding Fathers who helped define American democracy. Together, these anniversaries invite us to reflect on who we are as a state and as a nation—and where we want to go next.
