BECOME A SPONSOR TODAY

Like fairs across the country, the DC State Fair celebrates homegrown talent: the agricultural, culinary, and artistic skills of the people who live and work in the District. The DC State Fair hosts contests that celebrate urban gardening, home-brewing, cooking, baking, and art, as well as local entertainment and food, hands-on educational workshops, children’s activities, and even a pet parade. The DC State Fair drew over 10,000 attendees in previous years, and we expect that number to grow this year.

The 15th annual DC State Fair will be held at Bryant Street NE on Saturday, September 6, 2025.

But there’s more to our event than friendly competition and fun activities. We are committed to bringing people together from across the District to learn about local, sustainable food production, build relationships across neighborhoods, and create space for the sharing and creativity that help communities thrive.  As a sponsor, you’ll be a part of making that happen!

The Fair is a 100% volunteer-run, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All sponsorships are tax-deductible.

It would be an honor to add your organization as a sponsor of this year’s DC State Fair.
