What to Know

Muscogee County is anchored by Columbus -- Georgia's third-largest city -- where the Chattahoochee Riverwalk, the National Infantry Museum at Fort Moore, and a downtown whitewater park have made this city on the Alabama border one of Georgia's most dynamic mid-size communities with deep military and civil rights heritage. The Greater Columbus Fair, organized through the Columbus Civic Center, paused in 2025 with organizers hoping to bring it back in a future year -- no confirmed 2026 dates have been announced.

Before You Go

Columbus is on the Chattahoochee River bordering Alabama at I-185. The National Infantry Museum, the Chattahoochee whitewater park, and the historic Uptown district all make Columbus worth a full visit around the county fair.
