CloseAs America prepares to commemorate its 250th anniversary in 2026, Greater Miami and Miami Beach will celebrate the milestone through the lens of one of the nation’s youngest and most culturally dynamic major destinations. Founded in 1896, Miami is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman — Julia Tuttle — and has since evolved into a global crossroads shaped by entrepreneurship and cultural exchange. Through patriotic waterfront celebrations, national exhibitions, community festivals and commemorative experiences, Greater Miami and Miami Beach will honour America250 with a line-up reflecting both the nation’s history and Miami’s unique role in the American story.
