About Cherokee County Fair

The Cherokee County Fair in Centre is an August fair in the Coosa River valley of northeast Alabama, celebrating the poultry, catfish, and Cherokee heritage of a county whose county seat sits at the confluence of the Coosa River and Weiss Lake — one of Alabama's most popular largemouth bass fishing destinations.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling Appalachian foothills of Cherokee County along the Coosa River.

Visitor Tips

Centre is the Cherokee County seat on Weiss Lake — the "Crappie Capital of the World," Weiss Lake offers outstanding fishing, and the surrounding Appalachian foothills with their cedar glades and sandstone outcrops preserve an exceptional northeast Alabama landscape.
