About Gadsden County Fair

Gadsden County's seat of Quincy holds a remarkable financial legend — the "Quincy millionaires," a small community of local residents who were persuaded to invest in early Coca-Cola stock in the 1920s, making this north Florida Panhandle town one of the wealthiest per capita communities in America for decades, while shade tobacco and the agricultural heritage of the Apalachicola River valley define the county.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Gadsden County's shade tobacco farming heritage and its unique place in Florida Panhandle history.

Visitor Tips

Quincy is the Gadsden County seat west of Tallahassee on US-90. The historic downtown reflects the prosperity of the Coca-Cola stock era, and the surrounding shade tobacco fields under their distinctive cheesecloth coverings remain a unique north Florida landscape.
