This year’s Fair will be August 20th – 22nd 2026.
Our theme this year is “American Pride County Wide”.
We are excited to announce that the 118th Wahkiakum County Fair is dedicated to former Commissioner Gene Strong, in recognition of his dedication to the fair. We also would like to recognize the Elephant Ear Booth for their many years as a vendor.
