“We will have state fair rides, your favorite fair foods and bunches of family fun,” organizers said on the fair’s Facebook page.

The fair will open at 4 p.m. every weekday, except Memorial Day, according to Events DC. On Saturdays, Sundays and Memorial Day, it opens at noon.

It will close close at 9 p.m. every day, except Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday, May 24. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday, May 24, it will close at 10 p.m.

Organizers expect 1,000 to 3,000 people to attend each day.
