The DC State Fair is this weekend, and this year, it's in our beautiful Franklin Park.
#BeDowntown to celebrate our city and support local vendors with family-friendly fun. 🪁
The DC State Fair is a free showcase of the District’s agricultural, culinary, and artistic talents and a daylong celebration of all things homegrown. In addition to live performances, local vendors, and educational workshops, winners from 50+ contests will be announced at the fair. Attendees can participate in live contests on fair day: pie eating, flower arranging, chili, and mac and cheese. Chili and mac and cheese participants must bring their entries to the tent behind the stage between 10 and 11:30 am.
The 15th annual DC State Fair will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2024 from 10am to 5pm and will take place rain or shine. The fair will be in downtown DC's largest green space, Franklin Park at 1332 I Street NW, Washington, DC 20005. The park is just a 1-minute walk from McPherson Square Metro on the blue, orange, and silver lines and a 6-minute walk from Metro Center station on the red, blue, orange, and silver lines.
Free admission.

Plan Ahead: Pack a reusable water bottle, reusable cutlery, and a shopping bag. The DC State Fair makes a concerted effort to reduce waste, and you can be part of the solution.

I don't know how I missed the earlier announcement of this event. It should have been #1 in yesterday's Get Out! column highlighting the weekend's major events
