This Memorial Day weekend, head to Oaks Park for some good, old-fashioned fun at the Multnomah County Fair.

The annual fair has been entertaining Portlanders since 1906. Traditionally an event for locals to exhibit farming and homesteading techniques, fairs have expanded to showcase food, entertainment, crafters, artists and more.

This year’s event features competitive exhibits, music and stage performances, Lucha Libre wrestling, a pioneer village and wiener dog races. You’ll also see a wide range of entertainment and exhibits.

Here are the details about the 2024 fair.
