About the Fair: 
The 2025 Washington Town & Country Fair will be held August 6-10 in Washington, Missouri.  At the WashMO Fair, gate admission covers everything but food/drink and games of chance, so plan to spend the whole day at the fair soaking up the fun.  The midway features over 20 rides.  The Family Fun Center has a jam-packed schedule of stage shows, contests, and interactive fun, while Agriland brings the farm to kids with a petting zoo, combine cab, and corn, soybean, and wheat-filled sandboxes.  
All interactive exhibits have plenty of seating for the adults to rest up while the kids play.  The fun kicks into overdrive in the evening with the motorsports events and concerts (line-ups to be announced in March).  Did we mention the concerts are included with your admission?  Whatever fun you are looking for, you are sure to find it August 6-10, 2025 at the Washington Town & Country Fair.  It’s a great deal close to home – season tickets or daily passes are available, and children under 6 are completely free!  

Off-Season Summary: Now in its 96th year, the Washington Town & Country Fair is known throughout the region as a fantastic fair and great bargain.  Admission includes rides, concerts, motorsports events, livestock shows, and exhibits.  The carnival midway boasts 20 rides, including some for every age and adventure level.  A number of hands-on activities and stage shows are available in the Family Fun Center, and visitors can get an up-close-and-personal agriculture experience while visiting Agriland or the Livestock Barns.  Enjoy five nights of high-powered entertainment in the Radio Comm Motorsports Arena, and concerts on the Pepsi Main Stage!  Tickets available at http://www.washmofair.com.
