About Montgomery County Fair
The Montgomery County Fair in Mount Ida is an October fair in the Ouachita Mountains of west-central Arkansas, celebrating the quartz crystal mining, timber, and Ouachita River heritage of a county famous as the "Quartz Crystal Capital of the World" — Montgomery County's quartz crystal deposits are among the most extensive and commercially significant in North America.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the forested Ouachita Mountain country of Montgomery County.
Visitor Tips
Mount Ida is the Montgomery County seat and the quartz crystal capital — the quartz crystal mines (where visitors can dig their own crystals at several fee-dig sites), Lake Ouachita (one of the cleanest lakes in the South), and the surrounding Ouachita National Forest wilderness define this extraordinary west Arkansas destination.
