President Donald Trump has proposed an unforgettable 250th anniversary celebration dedicated to American independence that would feature a massive festival at the Iowa State Fairgrounds — just one day ahead of his appearance at an Iowa town hall event.

Unveiling his “Salute to America 250” plans on social media Wednesday, Trump revealed once he’s restored as president he’ll launch a White House task force which would plan “an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4th 2026.”

A key feature of Trump’s historic birthday party giving “America’s founding in 1776 the incredible anniversary it truly deserves” would be a celebration at the Iowa State Fairgrounds called The Great American State Fair.

“I will work with all 50 governors… to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states,” Trump described.

“The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.”

He added he hoped “the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa State Fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair,” which Trump said would draw “millions and millions of visitors from around the world.”

“Together we will build it and they will come,” the former president added.

The ex-president’s announcement putting Iowa at the top of the list of potential spots to host the event comes as he’s set to participate in a town hall in Clive, Iowa, hosted by Fox News’ Sean Hannity, scheduled to take place June 1.

“Trump’s June 1 appearance will follow two days of Iowa campaigning by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and is two days ahead of Sen. Joni Ernst’s Roast and Ride fundraiser, which a number of Republican presidential hopefuls have said they’ll attend,” reports local Iowa news outlet KCCI.

Read a transcript of the president’s exciting announcement below:

Three years from now, the United States will celebrate the biggest and most important milestone in our country’s history, 250 years of American independence. What a great country. We have to keep it that way. But that’s why, as a nation, we should be preparing for a most spectacular birthday party. We want to make it the best of all time. Here is my plan to give America’s founding in 1776 the incredible anniversary it truly deserves.

On day one, I will convene a White House, task force called, “Salute to America 250.” It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration, but an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4th 2026.

Second, I will work with all 50 governors, Republican and Democrat alike, to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states. It will be something. The Great American State Fair will showcase the glory of every state in the union, promote pride in our history, and put forth innovative visions for America’s future.

My hope is that the amazing people of Iowa will work with my administration to open up the legendary Iowa State Fairgrounds to host the Great American State Fair and welcome millions and millions of visitors from around the world to the heartland of America for this special one-time festival.

Together we will build it and they will come.

Third, alongside the Great American State Fair, we will host major sporting contests for high school athletes. These are great athletes, wonderful athletes from fantastic high schools all around the country. These patriot games will allow young Americans from every state to show off the best of American skill, sportsmanship and competitive spirit.

Fourth, I will sign an executive order to bring back our National Garden of American Heroes, which we want to build very badly, commission artists for the first one hundred statues to populate this new statuary park honoring the greatest Americans of all time.

Fifth, as President, I will invite the leaders and citizens of nations around the world to visit the United States in honor of our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. It’s going to be great.

America’s tourist industry should get ready because we’re gonna have a lot of people coming. It will be a record year.

And finally, and most importantly, I will ask America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and our people as we prepare for this momentous occasion. From the very beginning, America has been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer and by our communities of Faith.

As we chart, a course toward the next 250 years, let us come together and rededicate ourselves as one nation under God. Thank you.
