Great American State Fair
June 25 – July 10, 2026
📍
National Mall, Washington, DC
The National Mall transforms into the biggest, boldest state fair in the country. From Maine lobster rolls to Hawaii's shimmering hula stage, Texas-sized steaks to Alaska's towering ice carvings, all fifty states, territories, and federal agencies come together to showcase their food, culture, and pride in one unforgettable, coast-to-coast celebration. Taste your way across America, experience traditions from every corner of the nation, and immerse yourself in a vibrant festival that brings the full spirit of the country to one iconic place. Along the way, step into the story of America itself through an interactive augmented reality experience - sign the Constitution, explore the nation's founding, and watch figures like Frederick Douglass come to life as you engage with powerful moments that highlight freedom, civic responsibility, and opportunity.
This is more than a fair - it is America, all in one place.
