Located in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, the Washington State Fair Events Center features a campus-like setting for year ‘round use. Trade shows, conventions, workshops and special functions are ideal events housed in this state-of-the-art Puyallup, Washington venue. The 165-acre setting offers ample parking for attendees, easy freeway access, and stress-free logistics for event promoters. The events center is a private-nonprofit organization.

The Washington State Fair is the largest fair in the state and in the Pacific Northwest, and one of the biggest in the world. The 20-day fair starts the Friday of Labor Day (closed Tuesdays), and welcomes more than a million guests who enjoy top-name entertainment, animals and agriculture, feature exhibits, booths, the arts, food and rides. The Fair started in 1900, and offers the tradition of the past, while celebrating the future. Each April, the 7-day Washington State Spring Fair is held, featuring animals, agriculture, booths, free entertainment, food and rides. The Spring Fair started in 1990, and is the perfect celebration of spring.
