Annual Events

Explore the annual events, fairs, and festivals that celebrate the communities and makers of Tri-Cities.

Throughout the year, each of the communities in the Tri-Cities region — Kennewick, Richland and Pasco — present an exciting array of concerts, races, food festivals, fairs, patriotic celebrations and other annual events perfect for the whole family.

In the spring, listen to the crack of the bat at a Tri-City Dust Devils game or crunch your way through some of the region's best tacos at the annual Taco Crawl. Put on your best red, white and blue for our region's spirited patriotic celebrations in the summer, including the dazzling River of Fire fireworks display. Pick the perfect pumpkin at Middleton's Fall Festival each October, and be amazed as the region twinkles with holiday cheer at one of many winter festivities.
