Summary
Trump is set to deliver opening remarks Wednesday evening at the Great American State Fair, launching a 16-day America250 celebration on Washington’s National Mall.
The fair runs June 25 to July 10 and brings together pavilions from all 50 states and six U.S. territories, with organizers pitching it as a modern-day World’s Fair.
A 110-foot Ferris wheel, the refurbished Smithsonian carousel, rodeo competitions, military flyovers, musical performances and civic programming are planned from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.
Trump’s appearance grew more central after several musical artists withdrew, with the report saying the event was effectively recast into a Make America Great Again rally.
Freedom250 says the fair is meant to showcase U.S. culture, history and innovation while promoting unity around the nation’s 250th anniversary.
