Just in case you need more than a funnel cake to convince you, here's why you MUST attend the Washington County Fair this week, August 7th-10th. 

I mean, after all, is there anything that screams summer more than the Washington County Fair? The first fair was organized back in 1860, and held in Washington City at the sight of John D. Lee's mansion. "Washington was the county seat and St. George had not yet been settled. The number of people in the entire Virgin River Basin, probably numbered fewer than one hundred families."

You can read more about where it all started here: History of the Washington County Fair

The abundance of deep-fried delicacies may be one of the main attractions for those adventurous eaters...{because everyone deserves a cheat day, right?!} But if you still need help deciding what the fuss is all about at the county fair, and how to make the most out of it, we are here to help!

The Washington County Fair is one of the best weeks of the summer. View the Interactive Map and find your way around the fairgrounds. Each year, you find the same things that you know and love, and also find something new and exciting! While the Fair is only in town for a few days out of the year, there is so much joy to be had! No matter what you look forward to, or what your expectations are, the Washington County Fair is stocked full of fun for just about everybody!
