We have something very special planned at the Julian Town Square this 4th of July for America’s Semiquincentennial. On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead towards the future. On this very special day, we will have a dedication ceremony for a time capsule at the Julian Town Square.
Our time capsule project will preserve today’ s Julian for future generations to discover in 2076. The capsule will contain about 12 items representing our community. The Julian Community Heritage Foundation board will be selecting five-six cornerstone pieces honoring Julian’s foundational heritage, which will be announced soon.
Eight to ten community members will be randomly selected by raffle to choose the remaining items. Raffle tickets are $25 and you can send your checks to:
Julian Community Heritage Foundation
PO Box 236 – Julian, CA 92036
Please make the check out to: Julian Community Heritage Foundation.
You can also learn more about the time capsule project and raffle at the Julian Music Festival on June 6.
Bring the family and join us for two very special celebrations in Julian this year. We want today’s youth to have something meaningful to revisit in fifty years, right in the heart of our historic district. By involving them now, we hope they’ll develop a sense of ownership over our town’s past and carry forward an appreciation for Julian’s heritage.
Mark your calendars for the capsule dedication ceremony on July 4th, as well as the Julian Music Festival on June 6th.
We appreciate your support as we create this lasting legacy for our community. www.juliantownsquare.org
