See you next Fair! August 28 - September 7, 2026

Agriculture & Horticulture

Farm & Garden

Do you have the soil it takes to grow the largest pumpkin? Or maybe one of your watermelons is really misshapen this season — we want to see it! We’ve got a competition for every green thumb in the game.

Floral

Join the floral frenzy at The Oregon State Fair! Submit your dahlias, succulents or fairy garden into one of many amazing competitions. Winners last year included a Sweet Caroline rose and a repurposed recycled boot as a garden container!

Honey & Products of The Hive

Showcase your sweet skills and the fruits of your hive’s labor in one of our Honey & Products of the Hive competitions! That could be anything from amber honey to beeswax blocks and honeycomb. Bee there or bee square!

Please note: Unfortunately, remote entry drop-off locations are not available for Creative Living competitions this year. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
