About Grant Parish Fair
The Grant Parish Fair in Colfax celebrates a central Louisiana piney woods parish where the Colfax Massacre of 1873 — the deadliest episode of Reconstruction-era racial violence — took place at the Grant Parish courthouse, and where timber and cattle farming define the contemporary economy of the Red River hills.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, timber and cattle exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Colfax community and surrounding parish.
