I have a long history of visiting the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. I’ve gone most years as a child and now I love bringing my own kids. Did you know that the Washington State Fair has a Spring Fair? I’ve gone so many years in September but now I am excited that we can enjoy the State Fair this Spring!
My kids will be so excited. I brought them to the State Fair in September and they didn’t want to leave. My, then six year old daughter, wanted to go on any “big kid” ride she could. She literally has no fear. And my son, didn’t want to leave KiddyLand.
The 2015 Spring Fair marks the 26th year the event has been held, drawing nearly 150,000 guests and there is so much to see and do! Enjoy the Spring Fair from Thursday April 16 through Sunday April 19!

I’m used to our state fairs being in August. I’d love a fair in the Spring.
This same fair ground has one in September as well. We love that one too. This will be the first year our family will attend the Spring fair and we are excited!
I love the local fair, such a great time to get out and spend time with family. Plus, I love the animals.
I love the animals too, Carlee. State Fairs are just so fun! For the whole family.
I have so many fond memories of going to the Michigan State fair. We used to go every single year. My favorite thing there was the pig races!
We went was kids each year too. My fondest memories are include riding the teacups and octopus with my grandmother.
I always look forward to the state fair. It’s even better now that I have a little boy to take!
I agree, Daisy. It is fun to enjoy it through the eyes of my two kids!
This looks like such a great fair. We love going to ours its such a fun family day for us!
Oh I love the state fair but I haven’t been in years (since I was a teenage actually). This reminds me of all the reasons that I need to take my kids and let them enjoy the fun of our state fair!
I’d like to try the cheesy hasbrown cups.
I love state fairs! We take our kids to the same one every year- such great memories!
I love going to the fair. i think my nephew is old enough now.
