About Lowndes County Fair
The Lowndes County Fair in Hayneville is a September fair in the Black Belt of central Alabama, celebrating the cotton heritage of "Bloody Lowndes" — a county whose civil rights history was so violent and its Black Belt plantation economy so entrenched that the Lowndes County Freedom Organization adopted the black panther as its symbol in 1965, directly inspiring the Black Panther Party.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the fertile Black Belt prairie country between Selma and Montgomery.
Visitor Tips
Hayneville is the Lowndes County seat — the Lowndes Interpretive Center (part of the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, commemorating the 1965 Voting Rights March that passed through Lowndes County) and the surrounding Black Belt cotton country define one of the most historically charged landscapes in America.
