About the Fair
The Evergreen State fair was held for the first time in the downtown region of Monroe, Washington in 1908. As its popularity grew each year, the organisers moved its venue from the small downtown area to the current location at Evergreen State Fairgrounds.
You can look forward to thrilling rides such as Thunderbolt, Energy Storm, Giant Wheel to name a few; animal exhibits and barns; and great food!
The special attractions include Petting Zoo, Carnival Rides, Logging Show, Crazy Animal Races, Auto Races and Pro-West Rodeo.
