Celebrating America 250 - Colorado 150

In 2026, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. At the same time, Colorado will mark the 150th anniversary of our entrance into the Union.

Through 2026, the America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission is launching a free mobile-exclusive digital passport that allows visitors and locals to check in to Colorado businesses, redeem optional discounts, and earn prizes in celebration of the upcoming year. This passport will be a key component of all marketing campaigns moving forward, and we want your business to be considered!

There is no cost to participate. This includes:
- Digital and print promotional materials to help you co-brand for participation in the passport program.
The passport is easy to use: no apps to download and delivered via text/email
Gamified engagement encourages visits
Offering optional discounts or deals to encourage visitation to your business
Easy GPS-based redemption process
