The Clallam County Fairgrounds operates on a year-round basis. Private and public events take place in the numerous venues available on the premises. There are times when two or more functions are occurring during the same time. Event insurance is required for all building and grounds rentals, contact Fair Office for information.
The first county-wide celebration began as an attempt by several civic leaders to boost the morale of Clallam County citizens, following the Panic of 1893. The Panic of 1893 was a nationwide depression that caused bank closures and railroad bankruptcies.
