Labor Day marks the peak of summer festivals and fairs in the Northwest. The weather is just right for outdoor fun. I grew up attending the Oregon State Fair on Labor Day weekend, marking the end of summer for schoolchildren, who return to school the week after Labor Day.
Right now, several state fairs are open, providing fun and entertainment for many in the region. Here are the fairs open right now and over Labor Day weekend:
- Oregon State Fair – Salem, Oregon August 22nd – September 1st
- Eastern Idaho State Fair – Blackfoot, Idaho August 30th – September 6th
- Alaska State Fair – Palmer, Alaska August 21st – September 1st
Many county fairs and other special events occur on Labor Day weekend. For more information read the following articles:
