About Humphreys County Fair
The Humphreys County Fair in Belzoni is an August fair in the Mississippi Delta, celebrating the cotton, catfish, and blues heritage of a county known as the "Catfish Capital of the World" — Humphreys County is the leading producer of farm-raised catfish in the United States, with thousands of acres of catfish ponds on the flat Delta plain.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, catfish farm exhibits, local food vendors serving Delta-style catfish, and a fair in the flat cotton and catfish pond country of Humphreys County.
Visitor Tips
Belzoni is the catfish capital — the Catfish Museum and Visitor Center, the annual World Catfish Festival (each April), and the surrounding catfish ponds and cotton fields of the central Delta define Belzoni. Fannie Lou Hamer was born in Sunflower County but did much of her civil rights work in the Belzoni area.
