Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair, held on the National Mall as part of the celebrations for the United States’ 250th birthday, closes temporarily due to extreme heat, according to multiple outlets. CNN reporter Derek Van Dam reported live that temperatures were around 99°F, with heat index readings near 111°F, during the Friday event in Washington, D.C. Variety and Mediaite both say the fair shuts down in coordination with public safety officials and attributes the decision to hazardous heat conditions. The Daily Mail similarly reports that the fair is crippled by the weather and is closed. The reports describe the shutdown as a safety measure rather than a cancellation of the broader event commemorations. No sources provided additional details on reopening timing or any injuries or incidents. The closure affects the fair’s operations on the National Mall on Friday amid high heat and elevated perceived temperatures.
