Relive our Two-Day Celebration for America's 250th Birthday!

Celebrating the Semiquincentennial

New Albany came together July 3 and 4 to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with two days of patriotic fun, hometown traditions, and community spirit.

From the Pre-Declaration Party at Rose Run Park to the Independence Day Parade and fireworks, residents and visitors enjoyed live music, family activities, patriotic entertainment, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate with neighbors and friends.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this milestone celebration so memorable. We’re proud to celebrate 250 years of American history together as a community!
