Conservative Groups Take Center Stage at National Mall’s 250th Anniversary Fair

Conservative groups and Trump allies are prominently featured at the two-week Great American State Fair on the National Mall, a Freedom 250–backed event celebrating the United States’ 250th anniversary. Participants include America Prays, the American Principles Project, Hillsdale College, and Focus on the Family, among others, with Democrats criticizing the effort as hijacking the anniversary and a probe into Freedom 250’s fundraising underway. Some states are boycotting, several performers withdrew over ties to Trump, and organizers say the fair will showcase America’s past, present, and future from June 25 to July 10.
