Admission is free and tickets can be obtained here via Eventbrite. While Trump is scheduled to take the stage at 7:30 p.m., those planning on attending are encouraged to get there early. Doors will open at 5 p.m.
According to NBC Washington, a big crowd is expected, but a counter rally is also being planned for the event.
Trump is still the Republican primary candidate leading in the polls, a fact which makes many main-stream Republicans nervous. He has lost some polling points in recent weeks after he made insulting comments to a disabled reporter.
Trump’s speaking tour is called “Make America Great Again.” In this campaign, Trump is best known for his anti-immigration stance, even going so far as recommending that the U.S. build a wall to keep out immigrants illegally entering the country via Mexico.
In recent years, Prince William County has become a battleground for Republicans and Democrats alike. President Obama campaigned at the Fairgrounds in 2008, and Democratic Primary candidate Bernie Sanders campaigned there back in September. Candidates have also availed themselves of other county venues.
