Celebrating 250 Years of American Independence
On September 29, 2026, The Kościuszko Mound Committee will host the USA250 celebrations at The Kościuszko Mound in Kraków, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence.
The Kościuszko Mound Committee in Kraków, together with the Polish people, proudly joins the United States in celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence. Nowhere could these celebrations have a more meaningful stage than the Kościuszko Mound in Kraków—the most symbolic Polish–American landmark, where the legacy of Tadeusz Kościuszko, a hero of liberty on both sides of the Atlantic, continues to inspire new generations.
This historic celebration at the Kościuszko Mound, in the very heart of Poland's history — will stand as a powerful symbol of the enduring friendship and shared values that unite Poland and the United States.
