In honor of America’s semiquincentennial, the Town of Queen Creek will be celebrating with activities and programs that help recognize the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Throughout 2026, the Town will encourage participation in a variety of events and programs that honor the history of our nation, celebrate our great state, and highlight the unique story of our own Town.
