NAKHON RATCHASIMA — A celebration of American culture and heritage is underway in Korat, part of the US government's "Freedom 250" campaign marking the 250th anniversary of US independence. Ambassador Sean K. O'Neill inaugurated the free public event at the Mayfair Market, which offers live music, food booths, exhibitions and US innovations to the public.

The inaugural day of the fair featured a variety of activities for visitors, such as balloon shows, rides, chicken-crowing imitation contests, swing dancing, games and screenings of popular American films. Food offerings at the fair include local Korat delicacies, American-style dishes and a range of US food products. A standout feature is a 3D ice cream shaped like the Statue of Liberty.

In addition to the entertainment, American companies are showcasing new products and innovations at the fair, while US government agencies in Thailand provide information about their work.
