Clatsop County, OR. — Country music artist Kameron Marlowe will headline the 2026 Clatsop County Fair concert on Friday, July 24, organizers announced.
Marlowe, a rising name in country music, has built a national following with a sound that blends modern production with traditional country influences. Opening the concert will be the The Kruse Brothers, returning by popular demand.
Fair organizers also announced the return of the carnival for the first time since 2021. Rainier Amusements will provide rides and midway games throughout the four day event.
“We are really excited to bring the carnival back to the fair this year,” said Kyle Sharpsteen, manager of the Clatsop County Fair and Expo Center. “The rides and games help bring families to the fairgrounds, where they can also experience the agricultural exhibits, livestock shows, youth programs, and community competitions that are at the heart of the fair.”
Presale concert tickets are available now through the Clatsop County Fair website. General admission tickets are priced at $30, while front of stage tickets are $45. Prices will increase the week of the fair, and ticketing fees are not included.
VIP sponsorship packages are also available, offering access to a dedicated VIP section along with promotional visibility during the event.
The fair is supported by community partners including Clatsop Community College and Tillamook County Creamery Association, along with additional regional sponsors.
Beyond the concert and carnival, the fair will feature livestock shows, youth exhibits, agricultural displays, vendors, and live entertainment across the fairgrounds.
The annual fair poster contest is currently underway through the end of March, and applications remain open for food, retail, and informational vendors interested in participating.
More information, including tickets and vendor applications, is available on the Clatsop County Fair website.
