Local Tips
Cleveland is the Bolivar County seat and home to Delta State University — the Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland (the first Grammy Museum outside of Los Angeles) celebrates the state's extraordinary musical heritage, and the surrounding Delta cotton fields preserve the landscape that gave birth to the blues.
What You'll Find There
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair in the flat cotton and soybean country of the central Mississippi Delta.
The Fair
Every year, Cleveland hosts the Bolivar County Fair, which is an August fair in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, celebrating the cotton and blues heritage of a Delta county home to Delta State University — where legendary Delta blues artists like Son House are remembered and where the cotton culture of the flat alluvial plain remains the defining economic force.
