Yet another wrinkle has appeared in President Donald Trump’s plans to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. On Friday afternoon, the Great American State Fair was forced to temporarily shut down due to extreme heat in the D.C. area.

“Due to the heat, and in coordination with public safety officials, the Great American State Fair will be temporarily closed until 5:00 p.m. today,” read an announcement from the official Freedom 250 X account. “The safety and well-being of our guests, volunteers, performers, vendors, and staff is our highest priority. 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.”
