Trump-backed mega event to bring all 50 states to DC in world's fair-style bash

Organizers announced the event Tuesday, saying the fair will bring together all 50 states and six U.S. territories for a national celebration stretching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument.

Freedom250, the nonpartisan group helping coordinate the broader America250 effort, said the fair will feature food, games, exhibits and themed attractions designed to showcase the country's culture, history and innovation.

A newly released rendering offered a bird's-eye view of the planned fairgrounds, including the Ferris wheel, while organizers also said the refurbished Smithsonian carousel will be part of the celebration.

"Bound together by a shared promise, our nation is a union of diverse states and territories - distinct in character, united in purpose, and driven by the enduring pursuit of freedom," said Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach.

The U.S. has hosted over two dozen variations of the world's fair since first hosted in Philadelphia in 1876, according to the State Department.

The fair will kick off on Thursday, June 25 for "The American Canon: Opening Day," which will launch the event as a national exposition.
