Palouse Empire Fair ticket sales go live online

Palouse Empire Fairgoers have a new option for purchasing tickets, with online sales offered for this year’s event, themed “Red, White and Blue — This Fair is for You.”

Daily and four-day passes for the 73rd annual fair, set for Sept. 8-11, can be purchased by going to PalouseEmpireFair.com and selecting the yellow “tickets” link at the top right side of the page.

Ticket booths will still be open during each day of the fair for in-person purchases, according to a Palouse Empire Fair news release.

“In person admission ticket purchasing will never go away,” fair manager Janel Goebel said in the news release. “That face-to-face interaction is part of the charm of our iconic county fair.”

Website visitors also can purchase tickets to the Sept. 10 concert with headliner Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry and special guests the Olson Bros. Band.
