About Phillips County Fair
The Phillips County Fair in Helena-West Helena is an October fair in the Mississippi River Delta, celebrating the cotton, blues, and river heritage of a county that was one of the most important commercial and cultural centers of the Arkansas Delta — where the Mississippi River bluffs, the cotton trade, and the blues tradition created a city of remarkable depth.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair in the Mississippi River bluff and Delta flatland country of Phillips County.
Visitor Tips
Helena-West Helena is the Phillips County seat on the Mississippi River — the King Biscuit Blues Festival (held each October, one of the premier blues festivals in America, celebrating the King Biscuit Time radio program that helped launch Sonny Boy Williamson's career) makes October the best time to visit, and the Delta Cultural Center defines the heritage of this historic Arkansas Delta city.
