A 110-foot Ferris wheel, state pavilions and patriotic festivities are coming to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as part of a 16-day "Great American State Fair" marking the nation’s 250th anniversary.
"As our nation prepares to celebrate 250 years of freedom and opportunity, the National Mall will once again serve as the stage for telling our nation’s story. Thanks to President Donald J. Trump’s leadership," said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum in a release. "The Great American State Fair will bring all 50 states and six territories together in one place, showcasing the people, landscapes, and traditions that define this country."
Organizers announced the event Tuesday, saying the fair will bring together all 50 states and six U.S. territories for a national celebration stretching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.
Freedom250, the nonpartisan group helping coordinate the broader America250 effort, said the fair will feature food, games, exhibits and themed attractions designed to showcase the country’s culture, history and innovation.
A newly released rendering offered a bird’s-eye view of the planned fairgrounds, including the Ferris wheel, while organizers also said the refurbished Smithsonian carousel will be part of the celebration.
Every state and the six territories of the U.S. were extended an invitation by the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
"Bound together by a shared promise, our nation is a union of diverse states and territories — distinct in character, united in purpose, and driven by the enduring pursuit of freedom," said Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach.
Krach added, "This summer, the Great American State Fair will bring that spirit to life on the National Mall, celebrating the ingenuity, perseverance, and pride that define America as we come together to mark the nation’s 250th."

I’m not allowed in foreign cities thanks to the Wuhan Coup flu, so no to DC. And also no to the schiffhole foreign cities like LA or NYC either.
I can’t even be dragged into these foreign hives of scum and villainy against my will because my passport expired during the Wuhan Coup Flu.
If they ever transform back into American cities, maybe I might visit them again.
President Trump needs to relocate it outside a Democrat dump. Maybe multiple locations on the same weekend, including Mt. Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, etc.
Biker runs, flotillas, and car rallies.
I'd make exceptions for locations such as Concorde, Lexington, and Boston Harbor.
I doubt the country’s in the mood for hokey pokey.

But it is what it’s all about.
It’s going to be in washdc?
sorry, i follow Scott Adams advice when considering travel.
washdc is decidedly blue and awash with criminals and the unstable.
That’s Washington DC during the Biden regime.
PDJT started his DC safe & beautiful act last year, with Jeanine Pirro at the helm. He just declared Washington to be one of the safest places to be!
