Freedom 250 Announces Exhibits Presenting at the Great American State Fair in Celebration of the Nation's 250th Birthday

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Freedom 250 announced exhibits presenting at the Great American State Fair, a first-of-its-kind national exposition inspired by the World's Fairs. The event will take place June 25 through July 10, 2026, and transform the National Mall into a living showcase of America's past, present, and future.

Inspired by the World's Fairs that once united and electrified the nation, the Great American State Fair will bring together every state and territory alongside federal agencies, pioneering American companies, iconic museums, universities, and nonprofit organizations.

Visitors will explore an immersive journey through the people, industries, innovations, and traditions that define the American experience. Exhibitors will showcase the wide span of American advancement — from aerospace, artificial intelligence, and robotics, to transportation, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, space exploration, and more.

"The Great American State Fair is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring the entire nation together in celebration of 250 extraordinary years. From the National Mall, Freedom 250 will showcase the ingenuity and boundless promise that have always defined America — and cast a bold vision for the next 250 years. We are proud to have all 50 states and 6 territories represented and stand alongside remarkable partners for this historic celebration," said Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach.
