History
Watch the video history of Lakefair, produced in partnership with the Thurston EDC and exploring our earliest days in Olympia.
Online Applications
Most applications for the upcoming 2023 season will begin going live in early January!
For 65 years, Capital Lakefair has been a Thurston County tradition since the first event in 1957. Over the years, Lakefair has helped raise millions of dollars for local non-profit food vendors, craft vendors, and more than $400,000 in scholarship funding for students from local high schools to pursue furthering their education.
The volunteers of Capital Lakefair would like to extend a special thank you to the businesses, individuals and partners who provide essential support that makes this community celebration possible year after year!
