Great American Fair
June 25 - July 10 in Washington D.C.
A Utah pavilion will be part of the transformation of the National Mall into a bold state fair themed event for America’s 250th anniversary. In a series of vignettes, the exhibit asks “Are you a Utah person?” Visitors will be able to place themselves in several of Utah’s unique landscapes and share their photos for an opportunity to win a trip to the state. The Utah pavilion was funded by the Utah State Legislature and will be staffed by employees of the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement along with dozens of volunteers.
