About East Carroll Parish Fair

Visitor Tips

Lake Providence beautiful oxbow lake and the Grant Parish Civil War history attract history enthusiasts. The parish deep Delta South character connects it culturally to the Mississippi Delta across the river rather than to the Cajun Louisiana to the south.
