President Donald Trump will return to Iowa next month to give a speech kicking off Fourth of July festivities, according to an email announcement he made to supporters. KCCi reports Trump will give a speech July 3 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. The president has made multiple stops at the fair in past years, including as recently as 2023.

While Trump’s speech will take place at the fairgrounds, it will not be during this year’s fair. The fair itself runs from Aug. 7-17. A recent report indicated Trump was eyeing a trip to the Iowa State Fair. Rep. Zach Nunn posted on Facebook saying he had invited Trump to attend the fair, and Trump accepted.

Iowa State Fair CEO Jeremy Parsons said in a statement to KCCI: “We have been contacted by America 250 about a potential event with the President on July 3rd on the Fairgrounds. At this time, no additional details have been confirmed.”
