Google Search is marking the upcoming 250th anniversary of America’s independence, which will be celebrated in 2026. To kick off this historic milestone, Google has introduced a special interactive experience in Search. Starting today, users searching for terms like “United States Semiquincentennial” or “America’s 250th” on desktop or mobile devices will see a festive animation that lights up the search results page. This digital celebration will continue throughout the year and remain active until after July 4, 2026. The animated tribute is just the beginning of a broader set of initiatives designed to engage and inspire Americans as the nation prepares to commemorate 250 years of independence. Beyond the visual surprise, Google plans to roll out additional programs throughout the year. These efforts aim to highlight America’s natural wonders and shared cultural heritage, helping users explore the country’s rich history and landscapes. At the same time, Google is investing in the future by supporting community-driven economic growth through AI education and workforce development. By equipping individuals with essential AI skills, Google hopes to empower the next generation of innovators and creators across the nation.
