In 2026, the United States will celebrate a once-in-a-generation milestone: 250 years since the nation’s founding. It’s a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come, and an invitation to get out, explore the country, and experience the places and people that make America what it is today.

That’s where The Great American Roadtrip begins.

As the calendar turns to 2026, we’ll be traveling across the country, city by city, back road by back road, highlighting the communities that shape America every day. From small towns to major metros, we’ll spend time with locals, business leaders, and policymakers to spotlight what makes their communities unique, what they’re building, and why their stories matter. And we’ll bring you along with us.

Along the way, we’ll share stories from some of the most iconic corners of America, places that have helped define our culture, fuel our economy, and connect generations of families. We’ll celebrate the diversity, creativity, and character of these communities, and the role they continue to play in shaping the country’s future.

The Roadtrip will also highlight the opportunities ahead. From infrastructure and workforce growth to innovation, mobility, and local leadership, we’ll explore how communities are adapting and positioning themselves for what’s next, showcasing the tailwinds helping move America forward.

This journey is about celebrating America in motion, its people, its places, and its potential. It’s about encouraging more Americans to get out on the road, rediscover familiar destinations, and experience new ones with fresh eyes.

America’s story has always been best told from the road. In 2026, The Great American Roadtrip is setting out to celebrate it – mile by mile.

We invite you to follow along, hit the road, and be part of the journey, because to love America, you have to see America!
