About Izard County Fair
The Izard County Fair in Melbourne is a true Ozark highlands event, held in the rolling uplands of north-central Arkansas where cattle, timber, and small farms define the landscape. Melbourne is a quiet county seat, and the late-summer fair brings the entire county together for one of its most-anticipated annual traditions.
What to Expect
Livestock and cattle shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, fair food, local crafts and produce exhibits, and community entertainment reflecting the self-reliant spirit of Ozark hill country.
Visitor Tips
Melbourne sits along the Sylamore Scenic Byway in the southern Ozarks — combine your fair visit with hiking or fishing in the nearby Ozark National Forest. The area is beautiful in late summer before the fall foliage crowds arrive.
