Bag Policy Wa State Fair

Wa State Fair: Your Bag Policy Cheat Sheet

Alright, folks! It's that time of year again when the sweet aroma of funnel cakes fills the air, and the thrilling hum of rides echoes across the Puyallup Valley. That's right, the Washington State Fair is back, and we're here to help you navigate the bag policy so you can focus on the fun.

First Things First: What's the Deal with Bags?

So, you're wondering what the fuss is about bags at the fair? Well, safety first, friends! The fair has implemented a bag policy to ensure everyone's well-being. It's all about keeping those clear plastic bags, small clutches, and diaper bags in, and leaving the big, bulky bags at home.

Clear as Day: The Approved Bags

Now, let's talk about the bags that are A-OK to bring in. You've got three options here:

• Clear Plastic Bags: Think of those see-through bags you'd use for your lunch back in the day. They should be no larger than 12" x 6" x 12".
• Small Clutches: A little bag to hold your essentials? Sure thing! Just keep it under 4.5" x 6.5".
• Diaper Bags: Hey, we get it. Babies need stuff. Diaper bags are allowed, but they'll be inspected upon entry.

Oh, and a quick tip from the pros: You can also purchase a fair-approved bag on-site if you forget yours at home. Easy peasy!

But What About My Big, Beautiful Bag?

We feel you, fashionista. Those oversized bags are statement pieces, but they're not fair-approved. If you bring one, you'll have to leave it at the bag check, which is located at the Blue Gate. It's free, so no worries there.

What Can I Bring in My Bag?

Now that we've got the bag situation sorted, let's talk about what you can actually put in it. Here's a quick rundown:

• Essentials: Wallet, phone, keys, sunscreen, hand sanitizer - you know the drill.
• Snacks: While there are plenty of food options inside, you can bring in your own snacks. Just remember, no outside food or drink is allowed in the fairgrounds during special events.
• Medication: If you need to bring medication, make sure it's in its original, labeled container.

And a fun fact for you: Did you know that the Washington State Fair is the largest single-attendance event in the state? That's a lot of bags to check!

Pro Tip: Plan Ahead

Before you head out, double-check your bag. It's no fun getting to the gate and realizing you've got to turn back. And if you're planning on visiting during a special event, make sure to check the fair's website for any event-specific bag policies.

Fair Fun Awaits!

Alright, folks! You're now a bag policy pro. So, grab your approved bag, slather on some sunscreen, and get ready for a day filled with rides, games, and all the fair food your heart desires. And remember, the fair isn't just about the fun - it's also a celebration of our state's agriculture, culture, and community. So, embrace it all, and have a fantastic time!

Until next year, fair fans!
