Great American State Fair on the Mall

The Great American State Fair hits the National Mall with a 16-day spectacle celebrating all 56 states and territories — complete with a 110-foot Ferris wheel, daily rodeos, military flyovers, and free admission. Though it stumbled with long lines, heat, and seven states pulling out, organizers are pushing forward to honor American ingenuity ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary. Expect themed days like Military Appreciation and Wings of Freedom, plus talent shows and livestock contests — all designed to bring that classic state fair energy to D.C. Register in advance (even though it’s free), with extended hours — especially until midnight on July 4th — for a truly unforgettable, patriotic experience.
