As the United States of America marks its 250th anniversary, the 2026 Wawa Welcome America will be a significant cultural, historical, and civic celebration in the place where it happened. This once-in-a-generation experience will feature events that Philadelphians have come to know and love, just bigger and better, including concerts on Independence Mall, firework displays, block parties, Wawa Hoagie Day, a parade representing all states and territories, and more to be announced!
