About Tensas Parish Fair

The Tensas Parish Fair in St. Joseph celebrates one of Louisiana most sparsely populated parishes — a Mississippi River Delta parish where the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge protects one of the last great bottomland hardwood forests in the South, and where cotton farming has sustained a small community through 150 years of agricultural change.

What to Expect

Expect a small fair with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, cotton and soybean exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a remote northeast Louisiana Delta parish.

Visitor Tips
