America's 250th
Anniversary Committee
The Patchogue Roundtable — a new organization bringing together local service clubs and community organizations — has partnered with the Greater Patchogue Foundation to establish the America's 250th Anniversary Committee (A250 Committee) to coordinate this historic celebration.
Several local organizations have joined together in this effort, including the Patchogue Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, Patchogue-Medford Library, Patchogue-Medford School District, the Patchogue Historical Society, and others. Our mission is to unite local organizations in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of America throughout all of 2026.
We plan to establish Patchogue.info as a central information hub to collect and disseminate information about anniversary-related events and activities across our community — featuring a community-wide events calendar, information about participating organizations, and opportunities for residents to get involved.
