About Stone County Fair

The Stone County Fair in Mountain View is an August fair in the folk music capital of the Ozarks, celebrating the cattle, timber, and traditional music heritage of a county whose county seat is one of the most important centers of traditional American folk music — a place where dulcimers, fiddles, and banjos have been played on the courthouse square for generations.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, live traditional folk music, and a community fair in the limestone bluff and hardwood forest country of the southern Ozark Plateau.

Visitor Tips

Mountain View is Arkansas's folk music capital — the Ozark Folk Center State Park (the only state park in the US dedicated to preserving Ozark craft and music traditions), the Blanchard Springs Caverns (one of America's most beautiful cave systems), and the spontaneous music jams on the courthouse square make Mountain View one of the most authentic small towns in the South.
