The Washington County Fair is turning up the volume in 2026 with an expanded concert lineup that celebrates both nationally recognized talent and the region’s thriving local music scene. Headlining the fair’s main stage this spring is Neon Trees, the chart-topping alternative pop band known for its high-energy live shows and radio hits.
With songs including “Animal,” “Everybody Talks,” and “Sleeping With a Friend,” Neon Trees has built a reputation for infectious hooks and crowd-pleasing performances. Their appearance at the Washington County Fair underscores the event’s ongoing commitment to pairing world-class entertainment with hometown tradition, a fitting match given the band’s Utah roots. Tickets for the concert start at $29 and will be available exclusively through the fair’s official website.
While the Neon Trees performance serves as a marquee moment, fair organizers emphasize that the 2026 concert series is equally focused on showcasing local talent. Throughout the fair, regional musicians will take the stage, offering audiences a chance to experience the diverse sounds being created across Washington County. From rock and country to pop and familiar crowd favorites, the lineup reflects the creative spirit of the local music community.
“The fair has always been about bringing people together,” said Fair Director Susi Lafaele. “By featuring local musicians alongside an internationally recognized act like Neon Trees, we’re celebrating both our community roots and our connection to the wider music world.”
Music is just one piece of the broader Washington County Fair experience. Returning in 2026 are the attractions attendees have come to expect, including agricultural exhibits, family-friendly entertainment, carnival rides, competitions, and classic fair food. Together, these elements create a multi-generational event designed to be accessible, welcoming, and rooted in tradition.
Guided by its mission to celebrate the heritage, culture, and community spirit of Southern Utah, the Washington County Fair continues to serve as a gathering place where tradition meets innovation. In recognition of America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, fair organizers are inviting the community to join the celebration with free admission throughout the event.
The 2026 Washington County Fair will take place April 10–18 in Hurricane. For updates, concert details, and ticket information, visit washcofair.net or follow the fair on social media.
