Rhode Island’s Largest Agricultural Event!

Rabbits and chickens and cows, oh my! Come watch the tractor and horse pulls, browse the farm museum, visit the livestock exhibits, and support your local 4-H and Future Farmers – the Fair is RI’s largest agricultural event!

Country Musics Hottest Stars!

Blake Shelton to Cole Swindell, Teri Clark to Danielle Bradberry, Rascal Flatts to Runaway June, the Washington County Fair has always been a great summer venue for classic and up-and-coming country music acts – and your admission includes access to all daily concerts!

We're counting down to the VIRTUAL 54th Annual Washington County Fair!

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 UPDATE
The Washington County Fair has been closely monitoring guidance from state officials, up to and including the governors announcement today with regard to festivals and other large events scheduled this summer. Based on that guidance, it is with great sadness that we announce that for the first time in 54 years, the Washington County Fair is being cancelled.

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 is working on innovative ways to provide virtual entertainment and contests during the time frame the fair was scheduled to run, as well as find ways to support the various not-for-profit organizations and vendors who typically rely on income generated by their booths during the week of Fair. More details to come in the following weeks. In the meantime, please stay safe and know we will miss you all in 2020, but are looking forward to coming together again August 11-15th, 2021.
