The commencement of our state’s celebration is the Two Lights for Tomorrow event, set for April 18 at the Arizona State Capitol, from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM. This date commemorates Paul Revere's historic ride in 1775, when he alerted the colonial militia to the British forces’ advance towards Lexington and Concord, famously warning that “The Regulars are coming out!” rather than the mythical “The British are coming.” Two Lights for Tomorrow marks the beginning of a series of events leading up to July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. This free public celebration at the State Capitol will feature a variety of activities, including historical reenactments, an F-16 flyover, and live performances by the Phoenix Symphony, making it an ideal outing for families and history buffs alike. Exhibitors such as the S'edav Va'aki Museum and the Daughters of the American Revolution will present programs that explore Arizona's role in 1776 and other aspects of our country’s revolutionary history. A personal highlight for me is our collaboration with artists to both celebrate and look forward to our future. This includes working with a poet laureate to reinterpret Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's iconic poem, "Paul Revere's Ride," and my friend and collaborator, Vietnam Veteran Jim Covarrubias, who will paint a live portrait of the Liberty Bell during the evening’s events. I hope to see you there! Read more Read less
