Catch a ride at the Washington State Fair

State fair fun? Yes, please!

School is still out of session, which means you might be rushing to fill your days with activities if you're not strapped for childcare coverage. If you haven't gotten the chance to hit up the Washington State Fair, now's the time!

Mega-fun rides at the Washington State Fair.

Once known as the Puyallup Fair, it’s now simply called “The Fair” and is the most happening place to be in September. Performers include Keith Urban, Jason Derulo, Duran Duran, Heart, Pitbull and “Weird Al” Yankovic, to name a few. Other fair offerings include the rowdy rodeo, 4-H and livestock shows, the piglet palace, the parade, a carnival with extreme rides and the Catch a Rising Star talent competition.
