About Howard County Fair

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.

What to Expect

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.

Visitor Tips

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.
