It’s that time of year– to do the Puyallup!
The Washington State Fair is back, highlighting the best of fun and entertainment and animals and food that the Evergreen State has to offer.
“From hundreds of prize-winning crops and crafts homegrown by our neighbors from across the state, to farm animals of all shapes, sizes, “moo”s and “oink”s. Plus live music and performances all day long across four FREE entertainment stages, a midway packed with thrilling rides and classic carnival games, educational and fun exhibits where you can learn something new about Washington, and indoor and outdoor shopping where you can meet local makers and find your new “thing”. Whatever your State Fair tradition is, make new memories with us in 2026!” Fair organizers wrote on their website.
