A Southern Utah Tradition for Over 160 Years
For more than 160 years, the Washington County Fair has been a cornerstone of the southern Utah community, originating from the early settlers of Washington City who opened their homes to showcase their agricultural bounty. While the venues, entertainment, and displays have evolved over the years, one thing remains unchanged: the fair is a time-honored event that unites our community.
As southern Utah and Washington County flourish, so too does our cherished county fair. This year marks an exciting continuation from four days to eight, allowing us to offer even more attractions, entertainment, and unforgettable experiences at the 2025 Washington County Fair. In addition to our beloved ticketed events—the thrilling demolition derby, two exhilarating nights of rodeo, a boxing match celebrating 103 years of tradition, our popular petting zoo, and the honorable military wall of honor—we are introducing a wealth of new events for everyone to enjoy!
Get ready for team roping, sorting, breakaway, and an expanded concert schedule featuring three nights of live music! We’re thrilled to kick off the America 250 celebration with the America 250 Freedom Pageant, a spectacular musical production held over two nights that honors our nation’s rich history. The fair will also host the America 250 Founders Festival, an immersive colonial village experience during the final weekend, bringing to life America’s founding days with period costumes, demonstrations, and activities for all ages.
Additionally, we will proudly celebrate our military and veterans with the American Freedom Celebration featuring Nathan Pacheco, an inspiring concert dedicated to honoring those who have served our country. This special appreciation night promises to be a remarkable and moving experience for all attendees.
To kick off our concert lineup, don’t miss ’90s Country Night featuring the sensational Lonestar on Monday, April 14, followed by an inspiring performance by American patriot Lee Greenwood on Wednesday, April 16.
We owe immense gratitude to everyone who contributes to the Fair’s success; their hard work and dedication truly shine. A special thank you to Susi Lafaele and the Fair Advisory Board, who tirelessly ensure that the Washington County Fair remains a fantastic celebration for all. The Washington County Commissioners wholeheartedly invite the citizens of Washington County and all our guests to immerse themselves in the excitement of the 2025 Washington County Fair, taking place from April 11 to April 19. Join us for an incredible celebration filled with captivating exhibits and attractions that you won’t want to miss!
