About Saline County Fair

The Saline County Fair in Benton is an August fair in the bauxite country southwest of Little Rock, celebrating the aluminum ore, cattle, and suburban heritage of a county that was once the most important bauxite mining area in the United States and is now one of the fastest-growing suburban counties in Arkansas.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair in the rolling hill country between the Arkansas River valley and the Ouachita Mountain foothills.

Visitor Tips

Benton is the Saline County seat — the Saline County Historical and Genealogical Society Museum preserves the bauxite mining heritage that gave Saline County its unusual industrial history, and the rapidly growing Benton-Bryant suburban corridor is one of the most dynamic growth areas in central Arkansas.
