explore the fun, free and discounted events in our communities and Celebrate everything Colorado. I celebrated Colorado Day 2025 with visits to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Denver Zoo, and the Adams County Fair.
Looking Ahead to Colorado’s 150th Birthday
As we look forward to Colorado’s sesquicentennial in 2026, the America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission is leading Colorado’s commemoration of 150 years of statehood and 250 years of American independence in 2026. The Colorado General Assembly and I established the Commission to bring together leaders from across the state to guide this historic milestone.
The 250 - 150 Commission invites all Coloradans to join the celebration in 2026 through our key initiatives, like
