Welcome to Pennsylvania, a Commonwealth rich in history, heritage, and promise. In 2026, our Commonwealth will take center stage in a yearlong celebration of America’s 250th birthday. There is no better place to be than right here in Pennsylvania, the birthplace of our nation. From Independence Hall in Philadelphia to the rolling landscapes of the Susquehanna Valley, we invite you to explore where the American story began and continues to unfold.
This milestone year, we are bringing world-class events to Pennsylvania’s doorstep. Sports fans will be thrilled — from hosting the NFL Draft to welcoming global attention during the FIFA World Cup 26™. These incredible events showcase our venues, communities, and hospitality, and we are determined to deliver unforgettable experiences for every fan and visitor.
On top of those events, Pennsylvania offers an unmatched variety of adventures. Breathe in the great outdoors as you tour our state parks and forests, float our scenic rivers, or bike across our unbeatable trail systems. Explore charming small towns and vibrant cities, each with its own character, culinary scene, and cultural heartbeat. Visit our battlefields, historic districts, museums, and artisan workshops. Come for the experiences, stay for the people, and leave with stories to tell.
Whether you’re here to celebrate America’s 250th, catch a major sporting event, or simply discover a slice of Pennsylvania’s incredible diversity, we are honored you have chosen to visit. You’ll find warm hospitality around every corner and surprises at every turn.
On behalf of the Commonwealth, welcome — and enjoy everything that makes Pennsylvania the Great American Getaway.
