About Northwest Washington Fair

The Northwest Washington Fair, based in Lynden, is a ten-day August fair and one of the largest county-level fairs in Washington State. Lynden sits in the heart of Whatcom County's fertile dairy farming region near the Canadian border, and the Dutch heritage of the community gives this fair a distinctive character.

Visitor Tips

Lynden's Dutch heritage is on full display downtown — the windmills and Dutch-themed storefronts are worth a stroll before or after the fair.
