The Great American State Fair’s menu was released this week, giving the public a taste of what Freedom 250’s 16-day festival on Washington, D.C.’s National Mall holds for them. 

The event lineup is set to feature an array of local restaurants, and a sprinkle of Make America Healthy Again’s crusty outlook, with “MAHA Mondays” planned for June 29 and July 7. The free “World-fair” styled event, which seeks to celebrate 250 years of American independence, is launching on Thursday and will take place through July 10.
