STAUNTON, VA (Rocktown Now) — Happy Birthday America has announced that it has been named a Commemorative Partner of VA250, which is The Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission.

Josh Law, a member of the Happy Birthday America Board of Directors, says as a Commemorative Partner, the organization is honored to support this statewide initiative.

“For more than 50 years, Happy Birthday America has brought together families, friends, and visitors from across the Shenandoah Valley to celebrate the Fourth of July in Staunton. The 2026 celebration promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, honoring the vision of the Founding Fathers while showcasing the enduring spirit of community that defines Staunton,” says Law.

Law added that of the 13 original colonies, none played a more central role in the founding of the U-S than Virginia and the semi-quincentennial marks a unique moment for reflection, education, and civic engagement.
