The Washington State Fair Event Center celebrates 125 years of creating memories. Since 1900, they have welcomed guests to cultivate unforgettable experiences and lasting traditions.
As the largest single event in the state, the Washington State Fair began as a neighborhood celebration of the harvest season and is now 175 acres of year-round bustle. The Fair closed only twice in its 125-year history, during World War II (when the U.S. government used the grounds as a Japanese incarceration camp) and in 2020 (when Washington State gatherings weren’t allowed during the COVID-19 pandemic). Throughout the past several decades, the venue has become a destination for nonstop activity including five self-produced events and more than 125 other events.
Mark your calendars now for the biggest events. Washington State Fair happens August 29 to September 21 (closed Tuesdays & September 3). The Washington State Fair is the single largest event in our state. With nearly a million guests, this bucket-list event features top-tier entertainment, thrilling rides, incredible food, and a sense of belonging that brings everyone together. Join the celebration of culture, community and unforgettable moments, all while embracing the Fair’s inclusive, trend-setting energy.
