About Copiah County Fair

The Copiah County Fair in Hazlehurst is an August fair in the rolling hill country of southwest Mississippi, celebrating the cattle, cotton, and blues heritage of a county whose county seat was the birthplace of Robert Johnson — the Delta blues legend whose 29 recorded songs between 1936 and 1937 created the mythology of the blues crossroads deal.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling red clay and pine country of the Copiah Creek watershed.

Visitor Tips

Hazlehurst is Robert Johnson's birthplace — the Robert Johnson Blues Foundation and the surrounding Mississippi Blues Trail sites commemorate the most mythologized figure in the history of the blues, and the nearby Crystal Springs (the "Tomato Capital of the World") adds another distinctive chapter to Copiah County's agricultural heritage.
