The DC State Fair isn’t just one day of celebration — it’s a year-round reminder of what makes our city special. From home bakers to artists, urban gardeners to families, the Fair brings thousands of neighbors together to create something joyful, creative, and proudly DC.
As a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your Giving Tuesday support helps us keep the Fair free, sustainable, and accessible to all.
Here’s what your donation makes possible:
💛 $50 → Supports our zero-waste composting efforts
💛 $100 → Helps us secure vital permits
💛 $1000 → Brings us closer to securing our 2026 venue
Whether you give, volunteer, or simply share this post, you’re helping us uplift DC makers, growers, and creatives — and keep this community tradition thriving.
✨ Donate today and celebrate what makes DC home.
Thank you to those that were able to attend this year’s DC State Fair! We were excited to work with @godcgo this year to help our attendees easily navigate to and from the fair. goDCgo is an initiative of the District Department of Transportation that works with residential properties, employers, schools, events, and organizations in the District to encourage the use of sustainable transportation (bus, rail, biking, walking, scooting, carpooling).
@godcgo would love your feedback on how you got to the fair! Please complete the survey in bio.
Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the @dcstatefair on Saturday here at @bryantstreetdc . And congratulations to all of the contest winners!

Looking to liven up your yard or garden? Visit Casey Trees at the @dcstatefair this Saturday to secure your own FREE serviceberry tree!
A popular, native tree, serviceberries are known for their delicious, edible berries as well as their resilience and adaptability. Also known as a juneberry, the serviceberry thrives in a variety of soil types, can reach heights up to 25 feet, and grows well in full sun or partial shade.
Trees will come in a three-gallon container – easy to carry away on foot, in a bike basket, or in a vehicle!
We’ll be giving away 50 trees for DC residents on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to get there before they’re gone🍃🍒🥧

For the first time ever, you can pre-order the official 2025 DC State Fair t-shirt, designed by local artist Tian Buzbee and made by Bailiwick Clothing.
Pre-orders are open Tuesday, August 26 through Tuesday, September 2.
Ordering ahead means you’ll be able to wear your shirt before the Fair, and if you can’t join us in person this year, it’s the perfect way to bring a piece of the Fair home with you.
Don’t wait — this is a limited-time opportunity to celebrate DC’s biggest community tradition in style. 🙌
The DC State Fair is turning 16 this September and we want to throw the biggest, brightest, most community-rooted birthday party the city’s ever seen. 🤍
But here’s the truth:
We’re facing a big funding gap this year. As an all-volunteer team, every dollar we raise covers essentials, from staging and permits to kids’ activities, accessibility support, and keeping the Fair free for all.
If you love DC’s makers, bakers, growers, artists, musicians, and everyday champions… this is YOUR fair. And right now, we need you.
Donate today via the link in bio and help us throw a sweet 16 to remember. Every gift - big or small - makes a difference.
Let’s do this, DC! ♥️💪
