About Perry County Fair
The Perry County Fair in Marion is a September fair in the Black Belt of central Alabama, celebrating the cotton, education, and civil rights heritage of a county that is home to Judson College (one of the oldest women's colleges in America) and Marion Military Institute, and where Coretta Scott King and Nat King Cole were born.
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 Cahaba River country of Perry County.
Visitor Tips
Marion is a historically exceptional small Alabama city — Coretta Scott King's birthplace, Judson College, Marion Military Institute, and the Antioch Baptist Church (where the 1965 civil rights march that triggered the Selma-to-Montgomery marches originated) make Marion one of the most significant civil rights heritage sites in Alabama.
