DC IS NOT A STATE THUS THIS SHOULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED AS A STATE FESTIVAL.
I’m sorry you feel so strongly that way! We feel pretty strongly about celebrating DC resident’s talents in state fair style. And maybe someday we’ll have full congressional representation, and our organization’s name won’t be so confusing to people!

So, is it my understanding that there is currently not a drop off location for entries, just a time and date?
There IS a drop-off location–the DC State Fair registration booth! At the moment, we don’t have the festival map from Barracks Row–but DC State Fair will be easy to spot, and Barracks Row Fall Festival is only a few blocks long.
Any idea when the Homebrew, Sewing, Knit/Crochet, and Tastiest Tomato Contests winners will be announced?
Yes, Melanie! They will be announced after the rest of the contests, around 2:30. I will update the page to reflect that!

Are dogs welcome at the fair?
I’d imagine they are, Farrah, as long as they’re well-behaved and chill with thousands of people having fun around them!
Hello!
if we can’t make it to the contest ourselves (but would still like to show off our pickled vegetables!), could we have a representative stand in for us?
You certainly can enter in absentia! Once you register, it doesn’t matter who drops off your entry for you or whether you’re there for judging. It’s always fun (and nerve-wracking) to see the judges’ reactions when they’re sampling your pickles–but it’s just as fun reading the announcement afterward and discovering that you had won!
Why not expand the baked goods category… Just pie and cupcakes leaves us “cookie-philes” sad and lonely
That’s certainly an excellent suggestion! Perhaps we’ll be able to next year!
Thanks! As someone from MN (we have the largest state fair in the US) I was so happy to see this is a thing… I’ll be prepping my cookie pans in preperation for next year, don’t let me down!
