America 250: Culture and Community

As the United States prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of its founding, the John Jay French Museum invites the community to celebrate with “America 250: Culture & Community,” a free afternoon of cultural organizations, live performances, vendors, and local history. The event will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the John Jay French Museum, and is open to all, no registration required.

This free, family-friendly event invites the community to explore the many cultures that shape our city. Guests can enjoy local food trucks with diverse options for purchase, browse a vendor fair, view a special exhibit on the first floor of the museum, and connect with cultural organizations from Southeast Texas and the surrounding areas, who will be on-site sharing their missions, histories, and contributions to Beaumont.
