Celebrate 250 in Columbus

Celebrate America’s 250th birthday with six days of community events in Columbus and Bartholomew County, Indiana. From June 29 through July 4, enjoy a patriotic lineup of family-friendly activities, live entertainment, food trucks, historical experiences, kids’ programming, sports tournaments, a parade, fireworks, and more.

Each day brings a new theme, including American Revolution Day, Tea Day, Star Spangled Kids Day, Historical Society Day, the All-American Festival on Central, and a full day of Fourth of July festivities in downtown Columbus. Highlights include hands-on heritage activities, food and beverage tastings, live music, circus entertainment, children’s activities, the Patriotic Parade, and fireworks to close out the celebration.

Join the community as Columbus comes together to honor history, celebrate local spirit, and mark this once-in-a-generation milestone.
