The story
Washington State Fair in Puyallup
The Washington State Fair, held each September in Puyallup, is one of the largest fairs in the United States, drawing over a million visitors annually. Known locally as the Puyallup Fair, it combines a major concert lineup, a large midway, agricultural competitions and livestock shows with the fair's signature scones, served fresh with raspberry jam and butter.
Every September, the fairgrounds in Puyallup, Washington, host one of the largest fairs in the United States, an event so deeply embedded in the region's identity that most locals simply call it the Puyallup Fair rather than its formal name, the Washington State Fair.
