About Jefferson County Fair
The Jefferson County Fair in Birmingham is an August fair in the "Pittsburgh of the South," celebrating the iron, steel, coal, and civil rights heritage of Alabama's most populous county and the industrial heart of the Deep South — a city that rose from raw iron ore and coal in the Red Mountain ridgeline to become a major American metropolis.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, major live entertainment, commercial exhibits, and a large fair serving the diverse communities of the greater Birmingham metropolitan area.
Visitor Tips
Birmingham is Alabama's most dynamic city — the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (one of America's most important civil rights museums), Vulcan Park and Museum (the world's largest cast-iron statue), the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, and the Barber Motorsports Park make Birmingham one of the South's most rewarding city destinations.
