About Lauderdale County Fair

The Lauderdale County Fair in Florence is a July fair in the Shoals area of northwest Alabama, celebrating the agricultural, musical, and Tennessee Valley heritage of a county anchored by the University of North Alabama and defined by the famous Muscle Shoals Sound — the legendary recording studio where Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, and hundreds of other artists recorded.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a fair in the Tennessee River valley country of northwest Alabama.

Visitor Tips

Florence is the cultural capital of the Shoals — the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, the W.C. Handy Birthplace Museum (W.C. Handy, the "Father of the Blues," was born in Florence in 1873), the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, and Wilson Dam (one of TVA's most impressive hydroelectric dams) make Florence a must-visit north Alabama destination.
