Visiting the Washington County Fair

The classic tradition of the American county fair is alive and well in Washington County, Oregon. Each summer the fairgrounds in Hillsboro transform into a combination of carnival and community event, bringing together people from all over the area as well as many tourists at the Washington County Fair.

There are dozens of rides and midway games, as well as events and competitions for a wide variety of interests.
