Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo

Overview

For 78 years, the Benton Franklin Fair has been the grand finale of summer in the Tri-Cities: Kids who have nurtured projects all year finally get to show them off, it’s the last hurrah before the first day of school and a place where friends old and new connect for a few days of fun. Amid the bright lights and big sounds at the Fair, many people don’t realize that the event is produced by a nonprofit organization. Youth development, food insecurity, ag education, and cultural diversity are all priorities for the organization. We find so much to celebrate at the Fair; from the achievements of the youth in our community to the bounty of our ag industry and the joys of friendship. It truly is a community gathering, and we are proud to help make so many memories possible. So, whether it’s your first Benton Franklin Fair or your 77th, join us for The Best Week of Summer! We promise to surprise, entertain, and enlighten you during the magical events at the fairgrounds in Kennewick. We can’t wait to see you!
