It’s Time For The Washington County Fair!
– By James McFadden –
April 20th-23rd, 2022
If you haven’t already heard, the Washington County Fair is just around the corner! So hard to believe another year has come and gone and oh boy are you in for some serious fun and entertainment!
Last year’s fair set attendance records and saw southern Utah come together and celebrate after being locked up and locked out for too long. This year’s fair is sure to be one for the record books as well with an amazing list of attractions and things to do. Believe me when I say, you’re not going to be satisfied attending just one day, you’re undoubtedly going to want to keep coming back day after day, so you don’t miss anything.
The fair officially runs from April 20th to the 23rd, however, activities actually start as early as Thursday, April 15th & 16th with a full-blown Rodeo and a Special Needs Rodeo on the 16th that is guaranteed to lift your spirits and have you cheering your heart out.
Here are just a few of the exciting things you can expect to enjoy this year!
If you’re into Parades like our family is, you won’t want to miss that on Tuesday, April 19th. It starts at the Washington City Community Center at 6 PM with a Fair Kick Off Celebration at 8 PM at the Veterans Park. And, with that, the fun is just beginning!!
There’s the Carnival, the Demolition Derby, a southern Utah tradition, a special Public Celebration to honor our Vietnam Veterans, Boxing, Live Music, a Petting Zoo, and The Dutton Family will be with us live and in person to entertain your entire family. So many great things await you this year so don’t dilly dally, lets get a move on!
