SAN JUAN COUNTY, WA. May 7, 2026 - The San Juan County Parks & Fair Department is excited to continue offering convenient online pre-registration and multi-island pick-up and drop-off for non??'perishable Fair entries. Online registration opens Wednesday, July 1, and our staff will be traveling to Orcas, Lopez, and Shaw on August 8 to collect entries headed to the Fair. Register early, prepare your entries, and meet us on your island??"let’s get your creations to the Fair!

“The San Juan County Fair is a county-wide event, and we are committed to removing the barriers of entry for everyone to exhibit their homegrown talents and skills,” said Parks and Fair Director Brandon Andrews. “We’re excited to come to YOU to pick up and return your entries so you can just focus on enjoying the Fair!”

To further streamline exhibit entry days, we are trying something new! This year, exhibits will be accepted on two full days - one day (August 11) for non-perishable departments and the next day (August 12) for perishable and livestock departments. Spreading out entry days will make it easier for exhibitors to make their way around the grounds with fewer people and dedicated staff assistance will help decrease wait times!
