About Marengo County Fair
The Marengo County Fair in Linden is a September fair in the Black Belt of west-central Alabama, celebrating the cotton, timber, and Alabama River heritage of a county whose name recalls Napoleon Bonaparte's famous victory at Marengo in 1800 — chosen by early settlers who admired Napoleon's military campaigns.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling Black Belt prairie and Alabama River bottomland country of west-central Alabama.
Visitor Tips
Linden is the Marengo County seat — the Alabama River, the Old Cahaba Archaeological Park (ruins of Alabama's first state capital, abandoned due to flooding), and the surrounding Black Belt plantation landscape define the layered historical character of Marengo County.
