The Walla Walla Sweet Onion Festival In Washington Is Back For Its 36th Year Of Fun & Festivities
Walla Walla’s wine scene is currently receiving international attention. But those of us who have called Washington home for awhile know that it’s about so much more. For almost four decades, the Walla Walla Sweet Onion Festival has been showcasing the area’s signature vegetable in the most delicious way. And while we have a few months to wait, we’re happy to see that the 2020 dates have been set.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

Using selective cultivation over time, he and the local farmers developed the large, sweet, round onions we know and love today.

In 2007, the Washington State Governor signed a bill that declared the Walla Walla Sweet Onion our state's official vegetable.

This year's festival date is July 18, so mark your calendar (and get your hotel room) now.

There will be plenty of delicious food there (onion-filled and otherwise), but the festival is about so much more.

There's also a fun run, children's activities, music, local vendors, and more.

Walla Walla is such a beautiful city, and it was actually listed as one of the best places in the world to visit in 2018 by Travel + Leisure. This festival is a great excuse to explore it.

And of course, you'll want to bring plenty of cash for the Onion Fund.
