It’s A Christmas Tour. Tickets (beginning at $500 per person) include admission to the concert, an exquisite dinner, and drinks in the Earth Skybox.

About America 250 | CT
In 2026, the United States will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the country. It is an opportunity for reflection on the ideals of the founders of the nation, but also a time to consider the path forward in expanding our realization of those ideals today.
Governor Ned Lamont established Connecticut’s Semiquincentennial Commission by Executive Order 22-2 on July 2, 2022.
Guided by its four themes—Tell Inclusive Stories, Power of Place, For the Common Good, and Doing History—the commission is paving the way for an inclusive commemoration that provides space for all of the residents of Connecticut to consider their relationship with this country.
