"More than an event — it is a tradition."
← Back to Fair Home"The Tippah County Fair is more than an event. It is a tradition."
For 81 years, our community has gathered each summer at the Tippah County Fairgrounds to celebrate local talent, hard work, and tradition. As one of the longest-standing and largest county fairs in Mississippi, the Tippah County Fair remains a beloved highlight of the season.
This year we've worked hard to bring the fairgrounds to life for eight full days of family fun and entertainment — from championship-worthy livestock shows to a legendary rodeo. So come join the fun and be a part of the legacy. Let's enjoy an unforgettable week at the 81st Tippah County Fair!
