The Washington State Fair Event Center recently celebrated 125 years of creating extraordinary moments! Since 1900, we’ve welcomed guests to cultivate unforgettable experiences and lasting traditions. The Washington State Fair Event Center is the largest event center in the state. We produce five signature events annually, including the end of summer 20-day Washington State Fair, one of the largest in the country. The 6-day Spring Fair occurs each April as a celebration of the season. In addition to the fairs, the event center produces The Taste Northwest, a food-and-drink-filled extravaganza in June; Oktoberfest Northwest, the state’s largest Munich-style celebration in October; and Holiday Magic, a festive winter experience in December.

Since its establishment in 1886, the State Fair of Texas has promoted Texas agriculture, education, and community involvement through quality entertainment in a family-friendly environment. As a nonprofit organization, the Fair advocates for the community and is committed to preserving Fair Park – building on its legacy as a National Historic Landmark. At 24 consecutive days, the State Fair of Texas is the longest-running fair in the nation, as well as one of the largest. Through its rich and lengthy history, it remains evident that the State Fair serves not only as an annual celebration but as a unique destination that brings people from all walks of life together to create lifelong memories.
