Kitsap Fair and Stampede marks 100 years with back-to-back concerts!

Finish your summer with two amazing nights of live music Aug. 26 and 27

The Kitsap Fair and Stampede is celebrating its 100 year anniversary this August and it’s sure to be a memorable one! While they’ve welcomed back many popular events like the rodeo and Xtreme bulls, there are also some exciting changes.

“Last year’s beer garden concerts were such a success that we felt it was best to move the party over to a bigger venue,” says Rich Nestor, Fair Manager. “Moving these shows over to the Main Stage on the fairgrounds will allow us to accommodate more guests and make them available to all ages.”

In addition to these daily concerts, they will have two big shows at the Thunderbird Arena on Saturday and Sunday evening. So as the rodeo events winds down Aug. 26 and 27, the party will just be getting started over at Thunderbird Arena!
