Five Days of Fun For The Whole Family!

Owned and operated by the volunteers of the Washington County Pomona Grange, the Washington County Fair is a non-profit organization, and a great New England tradition for over 50 years!

COVID 19 ANNOUNCEMENT
Based on the guidance from the RI Governor, it is with great sadness that we announce that for the first time in 54 years, the Washington County Fair will be held VIRTUALLY for the first time!

The Fair Committee was working hard to deliver another amazing fair, but with the safety of our attendees, 4-H and FFA youth, vendors and volunteers in mind, we know this is the best decision for all involved. The Fair Committee has come up with innovative ways to provide virtual entertainment and fun – see the 2020 Virtual Fair pages for online contests and events!

It’s really fantastic to see that the agricultural community is alive and kicking in this state! I really enjoy the tractor pull and the food, the atmosphere is great and it’s a fun time for families.

There’s definitely something for everyone here! My mom and I enjoyed seeing the animals, listening to live music, watching the barrel races, and shopping for fresh fruits, veggies, and jams on our way out. The Del’s Lemonade was also a plus!

This was our first year attending and it was an incredible day. My family loved everything from the rides, to the games, to the foods and especially the animals. We met some great people and my daughter now has her very own bunny and hopes to one day be part of the day herself!
