WTOP has more details on what the fair will include:

The event announced Tuesday aims to bring together all U.S. states and territories in what’s being described as a “World’s Fair”-scale experience. It’s to have food, exhibits and interactive displays highlighting regional culture and traditions.

“Bound together by a shared promise, our nation is a union of diverse states and territories — distinct in character, united in purpose,” Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach said in the release.

According to the release, visitors can expect a mix of classic fair attractions and large-scale installations, including a towering 110-foot Ferris wheel and a refurbished Smithsonian carousel.

The fair will also have daily patriotic themes.
