The Spokane Fair and Expo Center was built on agriculture — and it continues to at the heart of what we do. The Interstate Fair itself was founded on agricultural roots, created as a way to showcase the importance of farming, livestock, and rural life to our community. Agriculture remains an area of focus at the Fair each year ensuring future generations stay connected to the vital role ag plays in our daily lives.

We are dedicated to raising funds to improve and update our barns, arenas, and other ag facilities — ensuring they remain a valuable and functional space for events, education, and community use throughout the year. These improvements allow us to serve not just Spokane County, but the entire Pacific Northwest as a hub for agricultural shows, competitions, and learning experiences.

In addition to facility improvements, funds from all donations go toward helping provide educational grants and increased premiums for exhibitors participating in ag competitions. A strong emphasis will be placed on supporting youth passionate about agriculture allowing them to continue in the vital work of the ag industry.

These funds allow us to preserve our history, while growing the next generation of agricultural leaders. It keeps agriculture at the center of our community — as both a proud tradition and a pathway to a sustainable future. Together, we can ensure the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center remains a place of learning, inspiration, and connection for generations to come.
