PHILADELPHIA250 invites you to connect with other program organizers to spark collaborations and event ideas for the 250th. We’re bringing our IDEAS WALL, so come share what your organization/collective is thinking or planning! #GetInspired

How will activities, events, and programs in 2026 reflect what the 250th means to Philadelphians – the celebratory, challenging, and inspiring? PHILADELPHIA250 will amplify and promote diverse types of places, people, heritage and stories with an emphasis on including new, underrepresented and diverse voices. Our People’s Programs for the 250th share a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access and work together to accomplish these goals in a manner that is welcoming and neighborly.

People’s Programs for the 250th is a community of diverse program organizers whose 250th activities will be promoted by PHILADELPHIA250 to create a robust calendar of 250th-themed citywide cultural programs at small and large venues promoted through a public campaign now and through 2026.

Please join PHILADELPHIA250 and this growing community of partners at our upcoming social event. Invite your friends to join you. There is no limit to how many programs Philadelphia can host for the 250th!
