This year's World Fair, called Expo 2010, will be in China. It is the largest fair ever!

Expo 2010 is China's first world's fair. It will be held in Shanghai from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010 on a 1300-acre site straddling the Huangpu River.

This is the largest expo site ever, eclipsing the area of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Nearly 200 countries are participating, which is also a world's fair record.

Attendance is projected to be 70-100 million during the six-month expo - another expo record. By comparison, in the twelve months of 2009, the 10 Walt Disney parks around the world had a combined attendance of 119.1 million.

What's the difference between an expo and a fair?
In the history of world's fairs, many names have been applied to the big show. In the United States, people usually talk about a "world's fair." But in other parts of the globe, people more commonly call the same thing an "expo" or "world expo."
