A significant number of military bands, including the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps, Army Downrange Rock, and the Airmen of Note Jazz Ensemble, are also slated to perform.
Each day of the fair will have a different theme, such as ones focused on honoring the military and veterans, faith, families, technological innovation. There will even be a “MAHA Monday” to highlight “inspiration for healthier, stronger, and thriving living.”
On Independence Day, there will be a “grand-scale” party on the National Mall featuring fireworks and entertainment, according to the press release obtained by Townhall. The events are free.
The state fair is just one of the major events to honor America’s 250th birthday, as there will also be a Freedom 250 Grand Prix in August, and UFC fights at the White House in June.
