About Hot Spring County Fair

The Hot Spring County Fair in Malvern is a September fair in the Ouachita Mountain foothills, celebrating the timber, brick manufacturing, and Lake Catherine heritage of a county that produces more bricks than any other county in Arkansas — the clay soils of the Ouachita Mountain foothills have supplied the local brick industry for over a century.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling Ouachita Mountain foothill and Lake Catherine country of Hot Spring County.

Visitor Tips

Malvern is the Hot Spring County seat and the "Brick Capital of Arkansas" — Lake Catherine State Park (featuring beautiful waterfall hiking trails and excellent bass fishing) and the surrounding Ouachita timber and brick clay country define Hot Spring County.
