The original and still the best, the Mid-South Fair has entertained families for 154 years. We’ve hosted superstars, launched careers, and made memories for people of all ages.
As a non-profit organization, our mission is not to make money. Rather, the Fair exists to create a cultural and entertainment experience that exposes the people in our community to items and events they might not otherwise encounter. In addition, we serve as a focal point for all sorts of organizations and communities.
So when you visit the Fair, you’re not just having a great time. You’re helping to keep tradition alive.
The Fair is governed by a board of directors, operated by a full-time staff and funded by sponsorships and donations. Since 2001, the Fair has given out $64,000 in educational scholarships for excellence in Youth Talent, Creative Arts, and Agriculture.
Our Mission: The Mid-South Fair is dedicated to educating and connecting the region to its agricultural heritage by promoting local industry, providing safe family-oriented entertainment, and rewarding agricultural and craft achievement through an annual exposition.
The Mid-South Fair is registered as a 501[C] 3 non-profit community service corporation.
