About Bacon County Fair
Bacon County is a small southeast Georgia county centered on Alma, where the naval stores industry — turpentine distilling and rosin production from longleaf pine sap — once dominated the economy, and where timber, peanuts, and tobacco now sustain a rural farming community in the Georgia coastal plain.
What to Expect
Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Bacon County's timber and farming heritage in the southeast Georgia longleaf pine belt.
Visitor Tips
Alma is the Bacon County seat on US-1 in SE Georgia. The surrounding longleaf pine landscape — restored in patches across the coastal plain — is one of the South's most ecologically significant forest types.
