Gear up for another incredible Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, WA! The fair runs August 24-29 and August 31-September 4, 2023 (closed Wednesday, August 30).?

Evergreen State Fair Theme: ?Little Moments, Big Memories??

Do you remember your first fair? How about your first concert or rodeo? The crowds clapping and cheering, and all the excitement in the air. Or that first glimpse of a cow in the dairy barn. Or maybe it's a special moment you shared with someone atop the Ferris wheel or over a heaping order of curly fries. All these little moments can bring back the sounds, smells, and feeling of happiness like it was yesterday. ?

The Evergreen State Fair is proud to have been a part of making memories for 114 years. We have brought entertainment, education, and community together while giving space for guests to experience these little moments that turn into big memories. These memories and experiences often get passed down from generation to generation and become something that the Evergreen State Fair is well known for?tradition. We can?t wait for you to join us with your loved ones to make new memories this year!
