The main stage has a new look to lighten up nights in Washington Parish.

With these new trim lights, we are able to keep the stage lit up in the evenings when the sun sets to allow efficient lighting for all visitors.

We also will update the color of the lights to correspond with any upcoming holidays or events!

Drive by this evening and see the new addition to the Washington Parish Fair Main Stage

⚠️ Please Be Aware ⚠️

It has been brought to our attention that multiple people have observed snakes in the fairgrounds. As the weather is getting warmer, snakes love to come out and soak up the sun just like us!

With the increase of snake activity, we would like everyone who visits the fairgrounds to be aware and vigilant of their surroundings.

In particular, the creek and the creek banks are a hotspot for snake activity. Please inform and educate your children if you are in the fairgrounds.
