The story

Washington State Spring Fair in Puyallup

The Washington State Spring Fair is the smaller April counterpart to the Puyallup Fair, held on the same fairgrounds each spring. The event features carnival rides, agricultural exhibits, 4-H youth competitions, arts and crafts, and the same signature fresh-baked scones that anchor the larger September fair.

Each April, months before the much larger Washington State Fair takes over the same grounds in September, a smaller spring edition opens on the same fairgrounds in Puyallup, Washington.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Held on the same historic Puyallup fairgrounds as its much larger autumn counterpart, the Spring Fair gives the same grounds and organizational infrastructure a second annual life, letting the fairgrounds operate as a year-round community fixture rather than a once-a-year event

02

The mystery stays covered

Its smaller scale compared to the September fair makes it a more manageable outing for families with young children, avoiding the crowd density of the fair's massive fall attendance while still offering carnival rides, exhibits and the beloved scones

03

The city starts moving

Timing in April places the Spring Fair near the start of the growing season, giving its agricultural programming a different character than the harvest-season emphasis of the fall fair, with more focus on early exhibits, youth programs and spring-themed activities

04

The water draws everyone in

As a lower-key event on the same beloved grounds, it has become something of a warm-up tradition for Puget Sound residents anticipating the larger fair later in the year
