The Washington County Expo is more than just a set of barns and arenas — it’s the heartbeat of year-round activity in Brenham and across Washington County. Our versatile facilities host a diverse mix of events, from championship rodeos and youth livestock shows to concerts, banquets, trade expos, weddings, and corporate gatherings. Each one brings people together, sparks connections, and contributes to the life and economy of our community.
Every year, we open our gates for hundreds of event days, drawing visitors from across Texas and beyond. These guests don’t just attend an event — they explore Washington County, stay in local hotels, dine in restaurants, shop in boutiques, and discover the charm of our area. That means every ticket sold, stall rented, or booth set up at the Expo has a ripple effect that strengthens our local economy.
But our impact isn’t only measured in numbers — it’s measured in moments. It’s the first-time exhibitor who steps into the show ring with pride. It’s the small business that gains new customers at a trade show. It’s the family reunion that brings generations together under one roof. And it’s the partnerships we build with local organizations, schools, and event promoters who trust us to provide the space and support they need to succeed.
While the Washington County Fair is one of our most well-known hosted events, the Expo’s story goes far beyond one week in September. We are here twelve months a year, creating opportunities for celebration, competition, education, and connection.
Our mission is simple — to provide a space where tradition and progress meet. Every event we host, whether big or small, plays a part in building a stronger, more vibrant Washington County.
