Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3, 2026, as the heart of our town comes alive with music, fun, and patriotic spirit. The day will be packed with exciting activities for all ages. Arbor Park, the Town Green, and the Library Grounds will be buzzing with energy and opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate - from family-friendly games to historical displays and local entertainment. Enjoy inspiring words from community leaders and students, performances by local musicians, and special tributes honoring our nation’s 250-year journey. Come hungry! A variety of food trucks and vendors will be on site throughout the day. And to close out the event, an amazing parade showcasing Ellington residents' community pride. This once-in-a-generation milestone is a chance for all of us to come together, whether you're young or young at heart, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
We hope you’ll join us in making history — right here in Ellington!
