About Monroe County Fair
The Monroe County Fair in Monroeville is a September fair in the Piney Woods of south-central Alabama, celebrating the timber, cattle, and literary heritage of a county famous as the childhood home of Harper Lee and Truman Capote — two of the most important American writers of the 20th century, who grew up together in Monroeville and whose friendship inspired characters in their most celebrated works.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the longleaf pine and hardwood timber country of Monroe County.
Visitor Tips
Monroeville is the literary capital of Alabama — the Monroe County Courthouse (the model for the courtroom in "To Kill a Mockingbird") hosts a beloved annual production of the play, the Harper Lee childhood home site and the Old Courthouse Museum preserve the heritage of this remarkable literary town, and the nearby Claiborne Lock and Dam on the Alabama River is a scenic attraction.
