Here are 5 fairs that you’ll be able to attend this summer in Washington.

Northwest Folklife

First up and just around the corner is Northwest Folklife. While fair may be a debatable term for this festival, it certainly has some similar elements. You’ll be able to enjoy all of it’s free spirited, hippy dippy goodness with food, live music, performance and more.

Where: Seattle Center
Cost: Free

Fremont Fair
