CELEBRATING AMERICA250 IN CHINO HILLS As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, the City of Chino Hills is proud to join communities across the country in recognizing this historic milestone. As part of the America250 recognition, cities are participating with meaningful local initiatives celebrating community pride and a strong future together. Kicking off the recognition in November 2025, the City unveiled a commemorative America250 challenge coin, which was presented to local veterans during the annual Veterans Day Ceremony at the Community Center as a symbol of our community’s gratitude for their service. In the spring, the City also hosted a community tree-planting effort in alignment with Earth Day. Between this event and a previous event in December, volunteers helped plant over 200 trees in support of the America250 theme of service. Upcoming Events • Artwork on Display at Community Center: In partnership with the Chino Hills Community Foundation, “The Patriotic Display of Chino Hills” art exhibit will be on display at the Chino Hills Community Center from May 19 through August 16. This specially curated exhibit will highlight local artists and celebrate patriotism in our community. An Artist Reception is planned for Tuesday, May 19, at 6:00 p.m. • America250 Flags Fly in Chino Hills: The City will fly the official America250 flag at City Hall and the Community Center beginning Memorial Day weekend through July 4. These visible displays of patriotism will serve as a unifying symbol throughout our community during this historic anniversary. • Independence Celebration at Veterans Park: In culmination of the celebration, America250 will be prominently featured during the City’s Independence Celebration and Concert on Wednesday, July 1 at Veterans Park. This annual free event brings the community together for an evening of live entertainment, family-friendly activities, and a festive atmosphere to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Giveaways will be available while supplies last. Learn more at www.chinohills.org/Events . Through all of these efforts, Chino Hills is a proud participant in this historic milestone in ways that reflect our community’s values of honoring service, celebrating community, and building a resilient community for current and future generations.
