Civic Season 2025
June 17 - July 4, 2025
Cheyenne, Laramie, & Casper, WY
July 4th commemorates the moment a new nation was born, based on ideals that each generation since has worked to bring to life: freedom, equality, justice, and opportunity. Juneteenth, celebrated just a few weeks earlier, reminds us of the struggles and hard-won victories in our ongoing journey to form a “more perfect union.” Civic Season unites our oldest federal holiday with our newest, mobilizing a movement to understand our past and shape our future.
Join the Wyoming State Museum along with a collaborative of local and statewide organizations for a summertime celebration of who we are as a nation, how we got here and where we want to go next.
BONUS - Each event that you register for AND attend earns you a raffle ticket to win a $50 visa gift card!
Civic Season has been made possible through a Community Culture Grant from Wyoming Humanities.
