Commemorate America’s 250th

2026 commemorates the United States’ 250th anniversary, along with the 250th anniversary of Montgomery County! 

Montgomery Parks, along with other historical and cultural sites in the county, will be hosting events, initiatives, and conversations encouraging our community to celebrate our accomplishments, discuss how America’s founding promises have yet to be fulfilled, and explore ways that we can work together to truly build a more perfect union. 

Below are Montgomery Parks’ upcoming events, followed by links to explore more within the county parks system. All events are accurate as of time of publication, but we encourage you to follow the links to ensure that you’re seeing the most up-to-date information.
