Washington's agricultural fairs provide educational opportunities for youth and promote agriculture and the welfare of rural Washington.  

The WSDA Agricultural Fairs Program provides approximately $2 million in financial assistance to agricultural fairs and youth shows each year. The Director of Agriculture appoints a seven-member Fairs Commission to recommend how the funds are allocated to participating fairs. The Fairs Program:  

• Coordinates the activities of the Fairs Commission,
• Audits all required reports and information from participating fairs, and 
• Verifies that fairs operate in compliance with state law. 

Currently, 68 fairs participate in the program.
