Cassandra Coleman is the executive director of a commission called America250PA.

She explained that it's a group of individuals from all around Pennsylvania, who are looking to unite Pennsylvanians and showcase all of the history the Commonwealth has to offer ahead of America's 250th birthday.

Coleman said the commission has a calendar full of events coming in 2026, including a concert in Erie.

But before July 4, 2026, America 250PA already has events ready to go for in the rest of 2025, including an America250PA mobile unit that Coleman said will be in Erie for the Erie County Fair in August.
