“As we kick off Missouri’s bicentennial, we look forward to celebrating our state’s rich heritage with a historic Bicentennial Inauguration. The strong bonds that tie Missourians together have endured for over 200 years and will provide the strength needed to continue moving Missouri forward.”
Teresa Parson
First Lady of Missouri and Co-Chair of the Inaugural Committee.
August 10, 2021, will mark the two hundredth anniversary of Missouri’s entrance as the 24th state to enter the United States. Following the Inauguration Ceremony, the committee will release information about future inaugural events in conjunction with Missouri’s bicentennial celebrations later in 2021.
Moving Missouri Forward is a 501c4 nonprofit that has been established to support Missouri’s Bicentennial Inaugural celebrations. The nonprofit is committed to transparency and will disclose benefactors and their contributions at a later date.
