Good to Know

Nashville is the Howard County seat — the surrounding Ouachita timber country, the Saline River corridor, and the manufacturing industry that has given Howard County a more diverse economic base than many south Arkansas counties define the character of this southwest Arkansas community.

Howard County Fair Overview

Held each October in Nashville, Howard County Fair celebrates the timber, cattle, and manufacturing heritage of a county in the Ouachita Mountain foothills where the red cedar and hardwood forests and the rolling red clay terrain create a characteristic southwest Arkansas landscape.

Highlights

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the Ouachita foothill timber and cattle country of Howard County.
