This marked the second disruption for the fair, which had already been suspended last week due to a heat wave, according to Raw Story. The event has also faced criticism over poor attendance, with critics panning the low turnout.

The latest evacuation was prompted by severe weather, as the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington issued warnings, Raw Story reported. The fair was originally scheduled as a July 4 celebration on the National Mall.

The series of setbacks underscores the challenges organizers faced in pulling off the event, which struggled with both weather and public interest throughout its run.
