‘Celebrate the bounty of our County’ with Clallam County Fair, Aug. 15 to 18!

Fair returns with an exciting lineup and loads of family fun

Bring your country dreams and your best blue jeans and head to the Port Angeles fairgrounds this week as the 2024 Clallam County Fair two-steps into town!

A celebration of community, agriculture and family entertainment, the Clallam County Fair showcases traditions, local talent and a connection to rural life – coming together from Thursday through Sunday under this year’s theme: “Celebrate the Bounty of Our County.”

“The fair is a tradition that brings our community together,” says Shari Ioffrida, Fair Manager. “We have something for everyone, kids to seniors, and we’re excited to see people come out and enjoy all the activities and entertainment we have planned.”

A packed schedule

The fair’s entertainment lineup features music, shows and demonstrations scheduled throughout the weekend. Don’t forget the Pacific Northwest Junior Livestock Auction on Saturday!

Several tribute bands play on the main stage, such “Whiskey River,” salute to Lynyrd Skynyrd on Saturday night, Victims of Love, a tribute to the Eagles, Thursday night, and “The Infinity Project,” paying homage to Journey on Friday night.

Miss the ‘90s? Rock cover band “Supernostalgic” closes out the event on Sunday night.

Also scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings is the NPRA Rodeo! The beer garden is returning before, during and after the Rodeo both nights.

On Saturday, check out the always entertaining Pro Logging Show, sharing the skills and traditions of one of the region’s most longstanding industries.

For families, the KidZone will have activities and entertainment specifically for younger fairgoers. Local favourite Cap’n Arrr performs daily, bringing his pirate-themed fun to the stage.

And of course, thrill-seekers of all ages will love the carnival – skip the lines and get your unlimited ride wristband here!

Animal shows and exhibits

Agricultural displays and animal exhibits remain at the core of the fair, and with 4-H/FFA exhibits and open class competitions, visitors can view a range of livestock, including cattle, pigs, sheep and poultry and more!

The Home Arts Building feature submissions from across the county, from homemade quilts to culinary creations.

The fairgrounds open daily at 8:30 a.m., with events running until 9 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and until 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Special admission discounts available for seniors, students and military personnel, and children aged 6 to 12 can attend for free on Thursday – Kids’ Day.

Parking is free throughout the event, though visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot.

“This is an opportunity for everyone to come together, enjoy some great entertainment and celebrate what makes Clallam County special,” Ioffrida says.
