For 2024, the Washington State Fair returns from Friday, August 30th, to Sunday, September 22nd, at the Puyallup Fairgrounds.
“Doing the Puyallup” is an annual tradition for many Washingtonians. Whether you go for the scones, elephant ears, or rides like the Xtreme Scream, the fair is full of PNW flavor. Not only does it have all of its TikTok-famous food, but there are also all the attractions, from the fair’s well-known concert series to a new “udderly amazing” birthing exhibit.

And don’t forget the fair’s hobby hall, fair farm, and rodeo. As always, there’s a fireworks show each night at 10 pm.
Tickets are cheaper if you buy in advance online (you can do that right here). Each year, select days are free to enter (usually with a donation of nonperishable food for the food bank or school supplies). There are also Military Mondays and a Free Kids Weekend. For those who love rides, grab the “Dizzy Pass” for unlimited rides.
