Freedom 250 Fair Opens on National Mall

The Great American State Fair has kicked off on the National Mall, celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday with a mile-long showcase of state pride—farming, culture, and fun under a giant Ferris wheel. The president opened it with a rally and will return for fireworks on July 4th, while also touring North and South Dakota for library events and more pyrotechnics. Families, road-trippers, and souvenir hunters are flocking to the fair, though some states skipped out due to costs. This Freedom 250 spectacle is just the start—later this summer, expect athletic events and even an INDYCAR race, all part of a separate celebration from Congress’s official anniversary commission.
