About Dallas County Fair

The Dallas County Fair in Fordyce is a deep-Delta tradition, rooted in the flat timber and cotton country of south-central Arkansas. Fordyce sits at the heart of a region where agricultural fairs have long served as the social anchor of rural communities, and this nine-day run in early September keeps that tradition alive.

What to Expect

Livestock and poultry competitions, 4-H and FFA youth exhibits, carnival rides and midway games, fair food, live entertainment, and community exhibits. The fair reflects the tight-knit character of a small Delta-edge county where the fair is the highlight of the year.

Visitor Tips

Fordyce is a quiet county seat about an hour south of Little Rock — plan ahead for lodging as options in town are limited. Weekday afternoons offer a relaxed pace, while the weekend draws the biggest crowds and best live entertainment.
