America’s 250th Celebration in Chester

Chester’s America 250 celebration includes colonial demonstrations, history programming, music, food, bounce houses and children’s crafts.

America’s 250th Celebration in Chester is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Chester. Morristown Minute lists the venue as Chester Borough / Municipal Field at 134 Main Street.

The program is part of local planning around the 250th anniversary of the United States. The Morris County 250th event listing says the day begins on Main Street with colonial demonstrations, including blacksmithing, basket weaving and colonial games, along with a history walk, music and a 10:15 a.m. appearance by the Colonial Musketeers Fife & Drum Corps.

The event listing also says Chester Borough and Chester Township are hosting a larger 250th celebration at Municipal Field from noon to 7 p.m. That portion is expected to include live music, food, bounce houses and children’s crafts. The organizer listed by Morris County 250th is I Love Chester NJ.

For local readers, the event is a regional history and community celebration tied to the national semiquincentennial. It gives families and history-minded visitors a full-day Chester destination with both Main Street programming and Municipal Field activities.
