Skagit County Fair
About UsThe Skagit County Fairgrounds is home of the annual Skagit County Fair, twice annual garage sales and is utilized for over 40 community events throughout the year. The Fair has been a summer highlight and tradition of Skagit County for over 125 years, showcasing agriculture, 4-H and FFA youth programs, elevating community organizations, hosting positive competition and providing quality Fair entertainment and experiences for the community. While the Fair is a county entity, it does not currently receive county general funds to support annual operations and the Fair and Fairgrounds must function as a self-sustaining unit year-round. The Fair consists of 3 full-time employees, hundreds of volunteers, and support from the community who dedicate their time and effort into this annual tradition and vital community gathering place.
