America 250 Fest in Carteret County will be a celebration of our nation’s history over the past 250 years. North Carolina played an early and important role in the American Revolution. The Halifax Resolves, adopted in April 1776, made North Carolina the first colony to officially sanction independence. From coastal towns to the mountain communities, people across North Carolina joined the fight for freedom and helped lay the foundation for the new nation. America 250 NC is not just about marking a date on the calendar. It is a chance to explore how these founding ideas were lived out, challenged and reimagined by the people of North Carolina. From political acts to everyday resistance, from well-known leaders to unsung voices, this commemoration helps us better understand our shared past and invites us to shape the future together. There are many events all over North Carolina which you can find by navigating to Home Page | america250
