About Cullman County Fair

The Cullman County Fair in Cullman is an August fair in the German Catholic hill country of north-central Alabama, celebrating the agricultural heritage of a county founded in 1873 by German immigrants under Colonel John Cullmann — who established a remarkable colony of German-speaking settlers in the Alabama hills that preserved European farming traditions for generations.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a fair in the rolling hill country of north Alabama's most German-heritage-influenced county.

Visitor Tips

Cullman is remarkable for its German heritage — the Ave Maria Grotto (a miniature stone version of famous world shrines built by a Benedictine monk), Cullman's distinctive German Catholic church architecture, and Smith Lake (one of Alabama's most pristine and beautiful reservoirs) make Cullman County an outstanding north Alabama destination.
