⚡️ 23 Days Until the Celebration! 🇺🇸

On June 10, 1752, Benjamin Franklin conducted his famous kite experiment, helping unlock one of nature's greatest mysteries and changing the course of science forever.

Franklin's curiosity, courage, and willingness to challenge conventional thinking helped spark a new era of discovery. Just 24 years later, he would help shape another world-changing event—the birth of the United States of America.

Today, as we count down to the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, Franklin reminds us that great achievements begin with bold ideas.

Join us on July 3, 2026, as San Dimas celebrates 250 years of American Independence with live entertainment, a classic car display, student art gallery, historical presentations, food vendors, a beer garden, and a spectacular drone light show.

23 days to go. The spark of independence still shines.

They're up!

If you've driven past Bonita & Arrow or along Via Verde, you've probably noticed the new banners announcing San Dimas' celebration of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence.

For more than four years, volunteers have been planning this once-in-a-generation event. Seeing the banners go up makes it feel a little more real—and a lot more exciting.

With just 25 days to go, the countdown is on. Soon we'll gather as a community to enjoy live music, a classic car display, student artwork, food, family activities, and a spectacular drone light show as we celebrate 250 years of American Independence.

July 3rd is getting closer. The banners are up. The excitement is building. It's going to be memorable.
