About Fulton County Fair

The Fulton County Fair in Hickman celebrates Kentucky westernmost county on the Mississippi River bluffs — the Jackson Purchase region where Kentucky shares the cultural heritage of the Deep South, and where banana and sweet potato farming once defined the county economy alongside the Mississippi River commerce.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a small western Kentucky Mississippi River county fair.

Visitor Tips

Hickman sits on tall bluffs above the Mississippi River. Fulton was once known as the banana capital of the United States due to its role as a refrigerated banana transfer point on the railroad. The county western tip is completely cut off from the rest of Kentucky by the Mississippi, accessible only through Tennessee.
