FREE ENTERTAINMENT
Overview
The Washington State Fair offers a wide range of great
entertainment that is included with the cost of your gate admission.
This page is dedicated to some highlight features this year.
Powerhouse: Combining brilliantly innovative tap, precision clogging and explosive stomp into
"Percussive Dance," Powerhouse is an electrifying dance experience that thrills audiences of all
ages. Featuring the very best competitive dancers, these performers entertain from start to finish.
Drawn in by the dancers' amazing energy, incredible talent and great audience interaction, crowds
can't help but join in the fun of a Powerhouse show. http://www.brianbon.com/powerhouse/
Kids Celebration: Kids Celebration is an amazing, fantastic family experience like no other family
show. This highly interactive game show is skillfully produced for children and parents to enjoy
together. Kids are electrified by the colorful stage, memorable music and friendly team style
competition. You're guaranteed to laugh from the priceless antics as your children engage other
kids in this incredible jam packed entertaining adventure. http://kidscelebration.org/fairevents.php
Mountain Mist Stage: This stage will continually change out and have many new bands to promote.
This is a great opportunity to celebrate traveling and NW artists and groups. New:

Redhead Express:

Scout:

Neon Anteaters:
They're a graceful, inquisitive duo of muppet-like four-legged giants. Kids
are astounded and adults are fascinated by their realistic movements... and their long, slurpy
tongues! Plus, they glow in ultraviolet light and they light up at night with electroluminescent wire.
http://www.marcolandin.com/Neon_Anteaters.html
Back by Popular Demand:
Rock Bottom Boys:
The Rock Bottom Boys serve up a ‘bone-a-fied’ act with their hillbilly twist on
tried and true rock hits from bands like The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and Sublime. Their spine
tingling four part harmonies, homespun vocal styling, boot stomping music and well-seasoned
showmanship transform some of the hardest rock songs into sweet ear candy when filtered
through their hillbilly souls. http://www.reverbnation.com/therockbottomboys4
Seattle Sea Gals:
Booked appearance the last Saturday of the Fair. Great catch the day before
the big game.
Fabulous Roadstars: Strolling band and leaders of our daily parade.
