The United States Tricentennial is scheduled for 2076, 50 years after America250.
A tricentennial marks 300 years, and 2076 will be exactly three centuries after the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776. The year is therefore the next major anniversary milestone after the 250th anniversary in 2026.
The date is also significant because the United States Bicentennial occurred in 1976. The sequence creates a simple anniversary pattern: 1776 marks independence, 1976 marks 200 years, 2026 marks 250 years, and 2076 marks 300 years.
The word “tricentennial” can be confused with “tercentenary,” another term for a 300th anniversary. Both terms describe the same length of time, but Tricentennial is the form commonly used in descriptions of the future 2076 national milestone. Planning details for that celebration may change over the decades.
