Pierce County Fair Returns To Graham Later This Month
The fair is returning in full force after the pandemic forced last year's fair to be a largely virtual affair.
GRAHAM, WA — The Pierce County Fair is all set to return to Graham later this month.
Fair organizers say they are prepped and ready for the big event, which will begin next Thursday, Aug 12, and run through Sunday, Aug. 15.
The fair is an annual event held at Graham's Frontier Park, but last year it had to be held largely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the state has lifted most COVID-19 restrictions, however, the fair has been cleared to return.

The state fair has also been cleared to resume September 3 - 26. Like last year's Pierce County fair, the Puyallup fairgrounds had to completely cancel the 2020 Washington State Fair — marking the first and only time the fair has been cancelled since the second World War.
