Mark your calendars and prepare to be part of history!

 

We are thrilled to introduce you to the official website of the San Dimas 2026 Committee, the driving force behind one of the most significant historical celebrations you'll ever experience – the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Leaders from across our City have embarked on an inspiring journey to meticulously plan, coordinate, raise funds for, and successfully execute this historic event.

 

A Remarkable Journey Through Time

 

This celebration isn't just a milestone; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of freedom, democracy, and the unwavering commitment to the principles that shaped our great nation. Two and a half centuries ago, a group of visionary patriots affixed their signatures to a revolutionary document that would change the course of history. The Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776, set in motion a series of events that led to the birth of the United States of America.

 

Join Us in Commemorating a Pivotal Moment

 

Our mission is clear: to honor and commemorate this pivotal moment in American history with an unforgettable celebration that brings together communities, individuals, and history enthusiasts from all walks of life. The 2026 Committee, initially established by a City Resolution, has evolved into a diverse and dedicated group of individuals and community organizations, all united by a shared passion for preserving the legacy of our nation's founding.
