Washington State Fair

Washington State Fair in Puyallup runs September 4-27, 2026, with published day-part hours and closures on Tuesdays plus Wednesday, September 9. It is the metro's big multi-week fair for rides, exhibits, food, concerts, and all-ages wandering.

Official ticket pages list kids 5 and under as free for gate admission, with paid general, child, and senior rates that vary by weekday or weekend and purchase channel. Rides, Dizzy Passes, parking, and concerts are separate.

Pick one weekday or weekend day instead of promising the whole run, check free-admission promotions before you buy, and plan stroller or wagon logistics for the fairgrounds size.
