About Van Buren County Fair
The Van Buren County Fair in Clinton sits in the heart of the Arkansas Ozarks, where the upper Greenbrier and South Fork rivers carve through heavily wooded hills and small cattle farms dot the hollows. Clinton is a classic small Ozark county seat, and the early-September fair is the biggest community gathering of the year.
What to Expect
Livestock and cattle competitions, 4-H and FFA youth exhibits, carnival rides, fair food, local crafts and produce, and community entertainment reflecting the independent Ozark spirit. The five-day run feels unhurried and genuinely local.
Visitor Tips
Clinton is at the junction of US-65 and AR-16, making it a natural stopping point when traveling through the Ozarks. The nearby Buffalo National River corridor is one of the most celebrated natural areas in the South — an outstanding companion to a fair visit.
