The Fair
Held annually in Monroe, the Evergreen State Fair is one of Washington's premier agricultural fairs, running eleven days in late August through Labor Day weekend at the Snohomish County Fairgrounds. It's been held since 1874, one of Washington's most enduring county fair traditions. With its large animal barns, championship livestock competitions, and proximity to the Seattle metro area, it draws some of the largest crowds of any fair in the state.
