Puyallup is home to the [[Washington State Fair]]. It is one of the largest U.S. [[state fairs]], attracting over one million people each year. The fair traditionally runs for 21 days in September; there is also a "Spring Fair" which takes place for four days in April. The Puyallup Fairgrounds is used for other events during the offseason.{{cn|date=November 2024}} The Washington State Fair was originally the "Puyallup Fair" until it was renamed in 2013; "Do the Puyallup" has been its long-standing promotional [[slogan]].<ref>{{cite news |date=September 20, 2012 |title=Name change for Puyallup Fair to state fair |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/name-change-for-puyallup-fair-to-state-fair/ |work=The Seattle Times |accessdate=November 13, 2024}}</ref>
