Washington Parish Free Fair

This festive, autumnal rural fair has been going on since 1911—come see what Washington Parish has learned about having fall fun in these 110 years. Expect all the classic small-town fair offerings—exhibits of cut flowers, homemaking, livestock and agricultural products; Old McDonald's Farm, a magical Midway, a PRO Rodeo, an Authentic Historical Pioneer Village—along with the best seasonal fun.
