Cowlitz County Fair

Feel the Excitement | Cowlitz County Fair

For 81 years, the Cowlitz County Fair has been a nostalgic community icon. The fair brings together local 4-H clubs, FFA, livestock youth market, exhibits, and live entertainment to provide a free family event that everyone can enjoy. The Cowlitz County Fair is the largest event in our area each year, with 2017 fair attendance reaching nearly 60,000 over four days. The Fair Foundation is a 501c3 that was created so the expo and fairgrounds were still able to keep up the grounds and subsidize fair expenses. For the last 13 years, we’ve been able to provide a FREE family event for Kelso, Longview, and surrounding areas.
