Northwest Washington Fair Announces Annual Fundraising Gala

The Northwest Washington Fair is excited to invite guests to the newly reimagined Fair Gala on Friday, June 19, 2026, from 7 PM – 10 PM. After many wonderful years as a dinner auction, this signature event is transforming into an evening of entertainment, complete with casino games, live music, bingo, a silent auction, a dessert dash, a no-host bar, light appetizers, a poker tournament, and more. This fundraising event will support the mission of the Northwest Washington Fair and benefit the community at large.

The Fair Gala will take place at the Peoples Bank Farm Pavilion on the fairgrounds, 1775 Front Street, Lynden, WA. General admission is $50 and includes casino games, live music, bingo, a silent auction, a dessert dash, a no-host bar, and light appetizers. Premium admission is $100 and includes everything in general admission plus playing chips.

To compete in the poker tournament, guests must pre-register by calling the Fair Office at 360-354-4111. Space is limited.

To attend the Fair Gala, please RSVP and submit payment by May 29 at nwwafair.com/galatickets, by phone at 360-354-4111, or by email at info@nwwafair.com.

Cocktail attire is encouraged but not required.

This is a charitable event. Chips have no cash value.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
