Since 1892 when Washington State held its first fair on these grounds, State Fair Park has served the community and the region as a gathering place for numerous activities and events, including our signature event...the annual Central Washington State Fair. Through the years, we have grown from being a once-a-year activity to a year-round activity center, utilizing our magnificent grounds and historic buildings to serve individuals, families, groups, non-profit organizations, schools, spectator sports, promoters, and many others.

Built in 1990, the Yakima Valley SunDome is an 85,500 gross square-foot facility perfectly positioned among the picturesque landscape of State Fair Park, and conveniently located near the urban core of the city.

Yakima’s vibrant and walkable downtown is home to a variety of hotels, a food lover’s paradise of local, authentic restaurants, festivals, exciting live entertainment, eclectic shopping and a community dedicated to hospitality.
