@nbcwashington: The Great American State Fair is closed until 5 p.m. today because of the extreme heat, officials said. “The safety and well-being of our guests, volunteers, performers, vendors, and staff is our highest priority,” a Freedom 250 spokesperson said. “Conditions are expected to improve later this afternoon, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back at 5:00 p.m. as preparations continue for this evening’s festivities.” #DMVtiktok#DCtiktok#greatamericanstatefair#washingtondc#districtofcolumbia#america250

Lol this sounds like it’s maybe more about low attendance. I remember going to a music festival in the DMV on a day when the heat index was 106. All they said was “stay hydrated everyone” 🤷♀️

It’s hot and humid in Philly Boston NY Chicago but those celebrations will go on. It’s a flop for low attendance not weather.
