America’s 250th Celebration – Star Trail

Star Trail Community Art Initiative
As part of America’s 250th anniversary, the Antioch Chamber of Commerce is proud to introduce the Antioch Star Trail, a community-wide art initiative featuring student-designed stars displayed throughout Antioch. The Star Trail will be on display from mid-May through mid-June and will conclude with an auction benefiting a local veteran's organization. Star Trail map and locations available Spring 2026.

Taste of America at Taste of Summer
In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, Antioch’s Taste of Summer will feature a special Taste of America experience. Each food vendor will offer a $2 “Taste of America” item, and live bands will open their sets with a brief introduction connecting their musical style to America’s history—followed by a patriotic favorite to kick off their performance.
