KIDS’ DAY
Friday 22 August
We celebrate our youngest fairgoers on this very special day of the Fair! Enjoy free admission all day for kids 12 and under! We believe hunger knows no age, and neither does teaching kids the importance of giving to others. Please bring a donation of two shelf-stable food items per child to the Fair gates. Today’s schedule features kid-friendly and parent-approved events around the grounds, including the Diaper Derby and Toddler Trot presented by Combs Insurance. Check out the Youth 360 & Thrive Mat-Su activities with family fun games and activities in the new Event Hall on Purple Trail! Fun and frosting await at the Hoskins Exhibits building, unleash your creativity with a FREE cookie decorating event, presented by Great Harvest Bakery & Café Wasilla.
