About Washington’s Fall Craft Fair
Join us in Washington Iowa as we celebrate our 36th Annual Fall Craft Fair on Saturday, September 6th, 2025 in our beautiful downtown Central Park. The Fall Craft Fair, steeped in tradition, holds a special place in the hearts of those who have been attending for years.
