About Holmes County Fair

The Holmes County Fair in Lexington is an August fair on the edge of the Mississippi Delta, celebrating the cotton and cattle heritage of a county that spans the transition zone between the loess bluffs of central Mississippi and the flat alluvial plain of the Delta — one of the most economically complex counties in the state.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the cotton and soybean country on the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta.

Visitor Tips

Lexington is the Holmes County seat — Holmes County's position at the edge of the Delta makes it an important agricultural county, and the surrounding Mississippi Blues Trail heritage and Delta cotton culture define the broader landscape of this north-central Mississippi community.
