About Dade County Fair
Dade County is Georgia's most isolated corner, tucked behind Lookout Mountain and famously known as "The State of Dade" — it symbolically seceded from the Union in 1860 and didn't officially rejoin until 1945. This compact county fair celebrates the uniquely self-reliant spirit of Georgia's northwest tip.
What to Expect
Livestock shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and live entertainment in a tight-knit mountain-valley community accessible only from Tennessee to the north.
Visitor Tips
Trenton is Georgia's most isolated county seat — the drive over or around Lookout Mountain from any direction is a scenic adventure in itself. Plan extra travel time.
