As the United States prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary in 2026, Brand USA, the country’s official destination marketing organization, has formed a dynamic partnership with America250. This strategic collaboration aims to inspire international travelers to explore the rich history, heritage, and culture of the U.S. during this monumental year of celebration. By joining forces, both organizations hope to bring the story of America’s founding and its journey of growth to audiences around the world.

“Brand USA is proud to partner with America250 to showcase the significance of this historic celebration to the world,” said Fred Dixon, President and CEO of Brand USA. “Through our expertise in international marketing, we will help the world connect with the places and stories that embody the American spirit. We aim to inspire travelers to experience and be part of this historic moment in U.S. history.”

A Shared Vision of Global Outreach

America250 is a nationwide initiative to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, highlighting key moments from the nation’s history and celebrating the ideals that have shaped it into the country it is today. The initiative encourages Americans to reflect on the past while also looking forward to a future grounded in the values that have defined the U.S. Brand USA, as an official partner, is committed to amplifying the efforts of America250 on a global scale, allowing people around the world to connect with the country’s history and culture.

The partnership follows the recent launch of Brand USA’s global tourism campaign, America the Beautiful, which invites international audiences to discover the nation’s vast and diverse landscapes, from the rugged mountains of the West to the serene shores of the East Coast. Through America the Beautiful, Brand USA is spotlighting the country’s natural beauty, offering travelers an opportunity to connect with iconic locations and hidden gems throughout the U.S. These locations tell the stories of the nation’s history, making them the perfect setting for the celebrations surrounding America’s 250th anniversary.

Ari Abergel, Executive Director of America250, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with Brand USA to invite the world to join us in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. This collaboration reflects our shared vision to honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire a future grounded in the American Spirit. Together, we’re bringing America’s story to life for global audiences in unforgettable ways.”

A Year of Celebration Across the U.S.

The year-long celebration marking America’s 250th anniversary will feature a broad range of events, exhibitions, and commemorative activities, showcasing the historical, cultural, and political milestones that have shaped the U.S. over the last two and a half centuries. As an official America250 Supporting Partner, Brand USA will work to promote the anniversary celebrations, ensuring that international visitors have ample opportunities to learn about and engage with the history of the United States.

Travelers will be invited to explore key historical sites such as Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the birthplace of the nation; the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor, symbolizing freedom and democracy; and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., which honors the U.S. president who preserved the union during the Civil War. Additionally, smaller yet significant historical landmarks and cultural centers across the country will offer travelers an even deeper understanding of the U.S.’s rich heritage.

Brand USA’s efforts will also include curated travel itineraries, tailored to international visitors, that will connect them with specific moments in American history. These itineraries will be designed to showcase not only major landmarks but also local and regional places that are critical to understanding the nation’s identity. Whether visiting the colonial towns of New England, the civil rights landmarks in the South, or the pioneer towns in the Midwest, travelers will be able to connect with the stories that make the U.S. unique.

Broadening Global Reach Through Digital Campaigns

In addition to in-person experiences, Brand USA’s partnership with America250 will be heavily supported by digital marketing campaigns, ensuring a global audience is aware of the anniversary and has the opportunity to engage with it from anywhere in the world. Using social media, video content, and immersive storytelling, Brand USA will bring the anniversary celebration to life online, allowing virtual travelers to experience the magic of the U.S. from their homes.

These digital experiences will feature behind-the-scenes looks at America’s most iconic historical sites, interviews with historians and cultural experts, and highlights of special events taking place across the country. The aim is to reach a global audience, including those who may not be able to travel to the U.S. in person, but who still want to be part of the 250th anniversary celebrations.

Inspiring Future Travelers Through Storytelling

At the heart of Brand USA’s global tourism efforts is storytelling. Whether through traditional media channels or innovative digital formats, Brand USA will use compelling narratives to engage travelers in the story of the United States. These stories will not only highlight the historical significance of the country but also the experiences that define the American spirit today. The partnership with America250 will help ensure that these stories are presented in a way that is relatable and accessible to people around the world, helping them forge personal connections with the U.S.

The partnership will also explore the country’s modern-day diversity, emphasizing how immigration, innovation, and progress continue to shape America. In doing so, it will create a deeper understanding of the country’s past, present, and future—an understanding that will encourage travelers to visit and experience the U.S. for themselves.
