Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary — The Semiquincentennial Collection for July 4th 2026

On July 4th, 2026, the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — the Semiquincentennial. It's the biggest patriotic milestone of our lifetime, and True Local is marking the occasion with limited-edition gear designed to honor 250 years of American freedom.

1776-2026: A Quarter Millennium of Freedom

Two hundred and fifty years ago, the Founding Fathers signed the document that changed the world. From thirteen colonies to fifty states, from the American Revolution to today — this is a once-in-a-generation moment to celebrate what it means to be American.

The nation is going all out for 2026. America250, the congressionally designated commission, has organized a full year of celebrations including:

  • The Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. (June 25 - July 10)
  • OpSail 2026 — Tall ships from around the world sailing into American ports
  • Freedom Trucks — Six mobile museums traveling to all 48 contiguous states
  • The largest fireworks display in history on the National Mall, July 4th
  • Giving 4th — A new national day of charitable giving on Independence Day

Major brands from Coca-Cola to Walmart are releasing commemorative products. Grunt Style, Life is Good, and Fanatics are all dropping patriotic 250th anniversary collections. And right here in Pompano Beach, Florida, True Local is doing the same — with our own spin.

The True Local 250th Anniversary Collection

We designed the 250 Collection to celebrate America's 250th birthday the Florida way — bold, proud, and built for the heat.

USA 250th Anniversary Dri-Fit Performance Shirts

Our 250th Anniversary long sleeve dri-fit sun shirts feature the American flag in a design that celebrates 1776-2026. Built with UPF sun protection, moisture-wicking fabric, and a lightweight feel perfect for fishing, boating, or any day in the Florida sun.

Available in Arctic Blue — this shirt was made to be worn on the water on the 4th of July.

250th Anniversary Cotton Tees

For a more casual look, our 250th Anniversary cotton tees feature the same patriotic 1776-2026 design in a CVC cotton blend that's lightweight and breathable — not heavyweight. Because this is Florida, and heavyweight cotton in July is a crime.

Patriotic Trucker Hats

Complete the look with a True Local patriotic trucker hat. From our Florida Proud collection to the Florida Gun Hat, we've got headwear that lets you rep your state and your country at the same time.

Get Yours Before the 4th

July 4th, 2026 is less than a month away. Whether you're hitting the beach, hosting a cookout, heading to a parade, or watching fireworks from the Pompano Beach pier — make sure you're geared up.

The 250th anniversary only happens once. Don't show up in a plain white tee.
