America 250 Concert
June 26 @ 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The Baldwin County Commission, in partnership with the City of Daphne and the Alabama Army National Guard, proposes to host a free, family-friendly America 250 Concert on June 26, 2026, featuring the 151st Army Band. The concert will be free and open to the public and designed to bring families together in celebration of America’s founding ideals, shared heritage, and civic responsibility. The concert will provide a musical walk through 250 years of American history, beginning with traditional concert band selections, transitioning to a New Orleans-style brass band reflecting cultural development, followed by a rock ensemble, and culminating in a patriotic finale honoring service and national identity.
In addition to the performance, the event will incorporate local historical engagement by partnering with Baldwin County Archives and History Department representatives and inviting historical organizations to participate with educational displays or informational materials. This will connect national history to Baldwin County’s own historical narrative and encourage residents to engage with local archival resources.
