Hosting the World’s Fair

Bringing the World’s Fair Back to the United States

U.S. cities and states can serve as partners for the U.S. pavilion at Expos abroad or even bid to host a World’s Fair themselves. In 2017, the U.S. ran a well-planned bid for Minnesota to host Expo 2023. Unfortunately, the United States lost to Argentina its first bid to host a World’s Fair in 40 years. In 2023, the U.S. ran another exceptional campaign to bid for Minnesota to host Expo 2027. Despite tireless effort and diligent campaigning, the United States unfortunately lost its bid to Serbia. The next opportunity to host an Expo will be 2032/33 or 2035.
