On the Midway
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the loess bluffs and hardwood forest country of the Mississippi River valley uplands.
What to Know
Held annually in Port Gibson, the Claiborne County Fair is an August fair in the loess bluffs country of southwest Mississippi, celebrating the cotton, antebellum, and Civil War heritage of a city that Ulysses S. Grant declared "too beautiful to burn" during his Vicksburg Campaign — and whose historic churches still bear that quotation's legacy.
Before You Go
Port Gibson is a perfectly preserved antebellum town — the Grand Gulf Military Monument (site of a significant Civil War engagement), the Port Gibson Presbyterian Church (with its distinctive golden hand pointing toward heaven atop its steeple), and the surrounding Natchez Trace country make Port Gibson one of Mississippi's most beautiful and historically rich small towns.
