bicentennial celebrations

Two-century commemoration events

Bicentennial celebrations mark a 200th anniversary, typically of a nation's founding or other significant historical event.

The United States bicentennial in 1976 remains the most prominent example, featuring parades, fireworks, and patriotic displays nationwide: The bicentennial celebrations drew millions to Washington.

Cities, institutions, and organizations hold their own bicentennial celebrations when reaching that milestone.
