特朗普政府为期16天的“伟大美国州博览会”已正式开幕,为前往华盛顿哥伦比亚特区国家广场的游客提供了参观展示美国所有州和领地展馆的机会。
唐纳德·特朗普总统2023年在竞选活动中首次提及这一现代世界博览会项目。三年后,该项目终于落地,日程表中包含军用飞机空中表演、电影放映和一座巨型110英尺高的摩天轮。特朗普的印记随处可见,其中包括按比例缩小的特朗普曾提议建造的250英尺高“凯旋门”复制品。
“这是美国黄金时代的开端,”特朗普在周三晚间的博览会开幕式上宣布。
博览会主办方是谁?
这场为期16天的活动由“Freedom250”组织,这是一个与特朗普结盟的非营利组织,曾筹办过多场由总统支持的美国建国250周年纪念活动,比如今年5月在国家广场举办的“重献250”祈祷活动。
入场需要收费吗?
博览会免费开放。Freedom250鼓励计划到场的观众提前登记报名。
哪些州会参展?
美国全部50个州和领地都将有代表参展,但有几个州并未直接参与。参与各州需要自行寻找赞助商、捐款或州政府拨款来装饰各自的展位。
华盛顿州、马萨诸塞州、伊利诺伊州、北卡罗来纳州和康涅狄格州的官员告诉CNN,他们拒绝为所在州组织展位,理由是资金有限。不过已有各州的志愿团体代表它们参展。
相关官员表示,各州做出这一决定主要是因为成本问题,但俄勒冈州州长蒂娜·科特克(民主党人)的发言人表示,该活动“正变得比最初宣传的更具党派色彩”,对此存在担忧。
展馆将是什么样子?
截至7月10日,数十座带有新古典主义柱饰的大型白色帐篷将作为各州展馆,内设互动体验项目,旨在展现每个州的文化、历史遗产和自然景观。

亚利桑那州展馆将为游客带来一场“感官之旅”,帮助设计亚利桑那州旅游局展区的广告公司Off Madison Ave的创意总监保罗·贝宁解释道。
“你会先体验羚羊谷温暖的教堂式光线,”他说,“然后过渡到 ponderosa 松树林凉爽斑驳的光影。最后漫步进入索诺兰沙漠的夜景,黑光会微妙地照亮星空和树形仙人掌。”

在蒙大拿州展馆,游客可以体验化石挖掘站。在明尼苏达州展馆,游客可以从装满该州官方鸟类普通潜鸟迷你模型的池塘中挑选,赢取奖品。佛罗里达州展馆将展示该州的柑橘产业,并设有迷你高尔夫推杆果岭。

俄克拉荷马州展馆将还原草原的气息,并通过灯光展示从日出到深夜的过渡过程。帐篷内还将设置风扇,呼应音乐剧《俄克拉荷马!》中的歌词——“风掠过平原”。
有哪些游乐设施和活动?
博览会场地还将每日呈现美国西部主题内容。届时将有牛仔竞技表演,包括精准骑术演示和传统墨西哥查罗马术表演。游客还有机会与美国微型治疗马见面互动。

与此同时,Freedom250的移动博物馆——“自由卡车”——将利用人工智能生成的视频和艺术品讲述美国建国历史。这些展品内容来自密歇根州基督教文理学院希尔斯代尔学院,以及保守派媒体组织PragerU,该组织发布教育材料,旨在对抗“主流左翼意识形态”。
本月早些时候,由于多位原定参演艺人退出,Freedom250被迫取消了部分音乐会,但该组织表示仍将有音乐表演。
“我们将有数百位表演者,”Freedom250首席执行官基思·克拉奇告诉CNN,“我们为所有人准备了节目,懂吧。我们会有精彩的演讲者、军乐队、了不起的艺人、歌手和魔术师,诸如此类的节目。”
菜单上有什么?
游客可以品尝各类州博览会经典美食,包括巨型玉米热狗、火鸡腿和大份薯条。来自伊利诺伊州朱迪家庭咖啡馆——一家因社交媒体病毒视频走红的餐厅——的煎饼也将供应。

The Trump administration’s 16-day-long Great American State Fair has begun, offering visitors to the National Mall in Washington, DC, the chance to visit pavilions showcasing every US state and territory.
President Donald Trump first teased the project, a modern World’s Fair, on the campaign trail in 2023. Three years later, the project has come to life, with military flyovers, movie screenings and a giant 110-foot Ferris wheel on the packed schedule. Trump’s stamp will be evident, including a scaled-down replica of Trump’s proposed 250-foot “triumphal arch.”
“This is the beginning of the golden age of America,” Trump declared at the fair kick off on Wednesday evening.
Who is putting on the fair?
The 16-day-long festival has been organized by Freedom250, a Trump-aligned nonprofit that has organized a plethora of 250th-anniversary events backed by the president, such as the Rededicate 250 prayer event on the National Mall in May.
Is there an entry fee?
The fair is free. Freedom250 has encouraged those who plan to attend to RSVP.
What states will be there?
All 50 states and territories will be represented, but several states are not directly taking part. Participating states sought sponsors, donations or state funding to decorate their booths.
Officials from Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, North Carolina and Connecticut told CNN they declined to organize booths for their state, citing limited finances. Groups from each state have volunteered to represent them at the fair.
While officials said their states’ decisions were largely due to costs, a spokesperson for Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, shared concerns that event was “shaping up to be a more partisan affair than originally presented.”
What will the pavilions look like?
Until July 10, large white tents decorated with neoclassical columns will house dozens of state pavilions featuring interactive experiences designed to represent each state’s culture, heritage and natural landscapes.

Arizona’s pavilion will take visitors through a “sensory journey,” explained Paul Behnen, creative director at Off Madison Ave, the advertising agency that helped the Arizona Office of Tourism design the display.
“You start with the warm, cathedral light in Antelope Canyon,” he said. “Then you transition into the cool, dappled light of a Ponderosa pine forest. And lastly, you wander into a Sonoran Desert nightscape, where blacklights subtly illuminate stars and saguaro cactuses.”

In Montana, visitors will be able to explore a fossil-digging station. In Minnesota, they’ll win prizes by selecting from a pond full of miniature versions of the North Star State’s official bird, the common loon. Florida’s pavilion will showcase the state’s citrus industry and include a mini-golf putting green.

Oklahoma’s pavilion will replicate the smells of the prairie and use lighting to show the transition from a sunrise to dark evening. Fans will also be placed throughout the tent to evoke the lyrics –“where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.” – from the musical “Oklahoma!”
What kind of attractions are available?
The fairgrounds also will include a daily reminder of the American West. There will be rodeo shows featuring precision-riding demonstrations and traditional Mexican charro performances. Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in meet-and-greets with American Miniature Therapy Horses.

Meanwhile, Freedom 250’s mobile museums, known as the Freedom Trucks, will tell the story of America’s founding using AI-generated videos and artwork. They feature content from Hillsdale College, a Christian liberal arts school in Michigan, and PragerU, a conservative media organization that publishes educational materials aimed at combating a “dominant left-wing ideology.”
Earlier this month, Freedom250 was forced to jettison some concerts following the withdrawal of artists who had been scheduled to perform, but the group has said there will still be musical performances.
“We’re literally gonna have hundreds of performers,” Freedom250 CEO Keith Krach told CNN. “We’ve got something for everybody, you know what I mean. We’ll have great speakers, military bands, amazing entertainers, amazing singers, magicians, all that stuff.”
What is on the menu?
Visitors will be able to feast on a variety of state fair classics, including jumbo corn dogs, turkey legs and buckets of fries. Pancakes from Judy’s Family Cafe, an Illinois diner known for its viral social media videos, will also be available.
