About Coahoma County Fair

The Coahoma County Fair in Clarksdale is an August fair in the heart of the Mississippi Delta blues country, celebrating the cotton and blues heritage of a county where Robert Johnson reportedly sold his soul at a crossroads, Muddy Waters was born on Stovall Plantation, and the Delta blues tradition that transformed all American popular music first took shape.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, live blues music, and a fair in the flat cotton fields and sharecropper country of Coahoma County — the undisputed capital of the Delta blues.

Visitor Tips

Clarksdale is the blues capital of the world — the Delta Blues Museum (housed in a converted freight depot), Ground Zero Blues Club (co-owned by Morgan Freeman), the Hopson Plantation Commissary, and the legendary crossroads of Highways 61 and 49 make Clarksdale an essential American cultural pilgrimage.
