About Hancock County Fair

The Hancock County Fair in Bay St. Louis is an October fair on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, celebrating the maritime, seafood, and artistic heritage of a coastal community that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and has rebuilt with remarkable resilience and a vibrant arts and culinary scene.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors featuring Gulf Coast seafood, and a community fair in the coastal pine and mixed forest country of the western Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Visitor Tips

Bay St. Louis is one of Mississippi's most beloved coastal communities — the Bay St. Louis antique and art gallery district, the historic Old Town neighborhood, the beachfront community, and the Stennis Space Center (NASA's rocket testing facility) make Hancock County an outstanding Gulf Coast destination.
