Spring Fair

It means guests with Spring Fair carload admissions will drive onto the fairgrounds, and stay in vehicles but have the opportunity to get out on foot, while wearing masks, at designated shopping locations and experiences.

Pile as many into your vehicle as you have legal seat belts for, then sit back and enjoy the fun, entertainment, sights and sounds of Spring Fair. All tickets are valid for one vehicle admission, one time through, with no re-entry. For information on RV’s and shuttle buses, please visit the Ticketing information at: www.thefair.com/spring-fair/

Due to current Washington state guidelines that event format is not permitted.

Carload admission tickets will NOT be sold at The Fair, all ticket sales are online only and must be purchased in advance at www.thefair.com. No refunds or exchanges, regardless of weather-related conditions.

Not for this NEW Spring Fair event. The complimentary tickets were intended for use at the traditional Spring Fair, with each ticket admitting one guest. Since this is not the traditional Spring Fair, they do not convert to allow an entire carload into this new hybrid event. They will instead be valid for any operating weekday at the Washington State Fair in September 2021.

There will be signage and staff, along with carefully created routes for various activities. Guests will receive a hang tag upon arrival to organize the time of arrival and which Spring Fair experience the carload has pre-purchased.

You are welcome to park in the Orange Parking Lot, after exiting, to enjoy food while in your vehicle.

The Rides & Games and Drive-In Movies are purchased separately from Spring Fair Carload Admission. One is not required to attend the other. 

The best news is that routes offer flexibility to navigate the grounds, allowing you to skip long lines. And, you have the ability to circle back on the route, during your visit, prior to exiting. We have tried to structure the event capacity to provide an enjoyable experience for all. However, based on the popularity of favorite food vendors, some lines could be longer.

No. The monster truck rides and fun buckets are optional add-on items. They can only be added, if a Spring Fair carload admission is purchased.
