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!
