Freedom 250 Presents: The Great American State Fair
Great American State Fair is a 16-day national exposition running from June 25 through July 10, 2026, spanning from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument. The celebration will unite and showcase all 56 U.S. states and territories in a single World’s Fair-scale event. This is an opportunity for visitors from across America to experience an unforgettable celebration of the people and traditions that define our nation. Our nation unites diverse states and territories to form the strongest country in the world.
This once-in-a-generation celebration will feature live music, carnival rides, and dozens of hands-on partner activations, where visitors can taste, touch, and experience what makes each state and territory unique.
The fair, located on the National Mall in Washington, DC will feature a 110-foot Ferris wheel, live music, regional food and livestock competitions. Admission to the event will be free, though organizers encourage advance registration to bypass lines.
