About Lawrence County Fair
The Lawrence County Fair in Walnut Ridge is an August fair in the rolling hills of northeast Arkansas, celebrating the cotton, soybeans, and Beatles heritage of a county whose county seat has the remarkable distinction of being where John, Paul, George, and Ringo briefly touched down in 1964 — giving Walnut Ridge an unexpected claim to rock and roll history.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling transition zone between the Ozark foothills and the Mississippi Delta lowlands.
Visitor Tips
Walnut Ridge is the Lawrence County seat — the guitar-shaped Beatles-themed sculpture and the Arkansas Sounds Museum celebrate the county's unexpected Beatles connection, and the surrounding row crop farmland of the northeast Arkansas lowlands is among the most productive in the state.
