2024 Year in Review

Wow, what a year! The Evergreen Fair Park attracted more than 370,000 visitors throughout 2024.That is a little over 5 Lumen Field Stadiums of people! We had a lot to celebrate in 2024; here are some highlights.

2024 Fair attendance: 232,168, a 1.5% increase from 2023. Vendors participating in the fair were up 4.9%. 1,500 exhibitors entered 19,000 exhibits into fair; that is a lot of ribbons! We saw an increase in concert attendance as well as a 13.6% increase in presale admission and wristbands. The Fair Food Drive raised 16,795lbs of food for those in need and the Rodeo Pass the Boot raised $5,252.62 for the American Cancer Society, USO and Cowboy Crisis Fund. 

In addition to the 11-day fair, the Evergreen State Fair Park hosted the first Holiday Spark in December 2024 along with 600 non-fair events bringing in more than 140,000 people who visited the fairgrounds. Events like The Great Junk Hunt, indoor motorsports, equestrian shows, Oddmall Emporium for the Weird, and the Monroe Auto Swap significantly impacted the local economy and supported hotels, restaurants and shopping in Snohomish County. 

None of this would be possible without you, our partners and staff. We are looking forward to 2025, with more events, the 2025 Evergreen State Fair and another Holiday Spark.
