About Adams County Fair

The Adams County Fair in Natchez is an October fair at the historic jewel of the Mississippi River, celebrating the antebellum cotton and plantation heritage of a city that was once the wealthiest city per capita in the United States — a community of stunning Greek Revival mansions built on the wealth of the cotton economy and enslaved labor.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fall fair in the loess bluffs above the Mississippi River at one of the South's most architecturally extraordinary cities.

Visitor Tips

Natchez is America's most perfect antebellum city — the Natchez Pilgrimage (each spring and fall) opens dozens of spectacular plantation homes to visitors, Natchez Under-the-Hill preserves the riverfront heritage, the Natchez Trace Parkway begins here, and the surrounding plantation country represents both the extraordinary wealth and the profound injustice of the antebellum South.
