Planning Your Visit

Canton is about 40 miles north of Atlanta via I-575. The Etowah Indian Mounds State Historic Site in nearby Cartersville is one of the Southeast's most significant archaeological sites — worth combining with your fair visit.

Fair Highlights

Livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival midway, live entertainment, and fair food reflecting Cherokee County's community roots amid the rapid growth of the north Atlanta suburbs.

A Closer Look

Cherokee County has transformed from a cotton-mill community centered on Canton Textile Mills into one of metro Atlanta's fastest-growing suburban counties, while still maintaining agricultural roots and a fair tradition in the shadow of the Etowah Indian Mounds near Cartersville.
