“The Washington Free Fair is not only the largest in the entire region, but also in the world,” said Queen Addison Goings of the 2024 Washington Parish Fair.

Attractions also include the Mile Branch Settlement and the Authentic Historical Pioneer Village, where hosts dressed in period costumes will welcome you to the area.

“It’s a time for families. Memories are created. It’s a time of togetherness for our city,” Goings said.
