In 2026, communities across the U.S.A. will stage observances marking our nation’s 250th birthday, known as the Semiquincentennial … yes, get ready for a year-long party and stock up on your red, white, and blue attire!
Concurrently, Colorado will be the only state to also celebrate its 150th statehood anniversary next year, referred to as the Sesquicentennial. Together, these events for Coloradans, will be an extra special tongue-twister called the “Sesquisemiquincentennial.”
These twin anniversaries offer a unique opportunity for PebbleCreek residents who proudly call themselves “Coloradans” to reflect upon and honor what distinguishes the Centennial state’s unique history during The Colorado Party. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an event you should not miss.
The Colorado Party Planning Committee has chosen the theme “Celebrations!—1776–1876–2026.” This title helps us recognize both the national and state anniversaries during our signature annual bash. The Colorado Party brings together former state residents to meet their neighbors who have also relocated to PebbleCreek for a very fun evening.
Registration forms will be available in December, and registration will occur in early January 2026. Save the date for now and continue to watch for more community announcements.
The event, limited to 250 guests and sold out for eight years in a row, is known as “the best” event when it comes to state parties held annually. The Colorado Party features a no-host cocktail reception, buffet dinner, live band, dancing, photo booth, and cash prizes.
“Celebrations” is going to be an epic party.
