About Polk County Fair

The Polk County Fair in Mena is an October fair in the Ouachita Mountains of west Arkansas, celebrating the timber, railroad, and Rich Mountain heritage of a county defined by some of the most rugged and spectacular mountain terrain in Arkansas — including Rich Mountain (the second highest point in the state) and Queen Wilhelmina State Park.

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 Polk County.

Visitor Tips

Mena is the Polk County seat in the Ouachita Mountains — Queen Wilhelmina State Park on the crest of Rich Mountain (with outstanding fall foliage and mountain views), the Talimena Scenic Drive (one of the most spectacular mountain drives in the South), and the surrounding Ouachita National Forest make Mena an outstanding mountain destination.
