Fall on the Eastside wouldn't be the same without the Kelsey Creek Fair Fair. My kids love this annual Bellevue event. Over the years, they've gotten to know the goats, sheep, and rabbits so well that they ask to visit and see their friends. This year, the fair is on Saturday, October 5, from 11 am to 4 pm. Plus, it's FREE! Everyone is welcome.

Kelsey Creek Farm’s annual Farm Fair is one of the longest-running events hosted by the City of Bellevue. Parking, admission, and many activities are free. Parking can be tricky; we suggest planning ahead and taking the shuttle.
