D.C. may not legally be a state, but that doesn't mean District residents can't get in on the fun of a state fair.
The DC State Fair returns on Sunday to celebrate all the things that make the District unique.
For the first time in the fair’s 14-year history, it will be held downtown in Franklin Park, steps from the McPherson Square Metro Station. Metro Center and Mt Vernon Sq 7th St-Convention Center are also nearby.
Visitors will find contests, free concerts, demonstrations, local vendors, children’s activities and more from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. It’s free to attend and family-friendly.
Some highlights include:
- Crush Funk Brass show at 11:30 a.m.
- A pie eating contest at 12:30 p.m.
- A live contest crowning the best tattoo at 1:30 p.m.
- Performance by Zaneta Z with A.F.R.O.B.A.M. at 3 p.m.
