The Trump administration’s Great American State Fair has begun, offering visitors to the National Mall in Washington, DC, the chance to visit pavilions showcasing every US state and territory. President Donald Trump first teased the project, a modern World’s Fair, on the campaign trail in 2023.
State Pavilions and Entertainment
The fair features a giant 110-foot Ferris wheel, military flyovers, movie screenings, and a daily reminder of the American West, including rodeo shows and meet-and-greets with American Miniature Therapy Horses. All 50 states and territories will be represented, but several states are not directly taking part, with groups from each state volunteering to represent them at the fair.
Arizona’s pavilion will take visitors through a ‘sensory journey,’ while Montana’s pavilion will feature a fossil-digging station. Oklahoma’s pavilion will replicate the smells of the prairie and use lighting to show the transition from a sunrise to dark evening.
Freedom 250’s mobile museums, known as the Freedom Trucks, will tell the story of America’s founding using AI-generated videos and artwork, featuring content from Hillsdale College and PragerU.
