About Leflore County Fair

The Leflore County Fair in Greenwood is a September fair in the Mississippi Delta cotton capital, celebrating the cotton and blues heritage of a city that was one of the most important cotton markets in the world in the early 20th century — where the long-staple cotton of the Delta bottomlands commanded premium prices on the global market.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair in the flat Delta cotton country where the Tallahatchie, Yalobusha, and Yazoo rivers converge at the heart of the Mississippi Delta.

Visitor Tips

Greenwood is the cotton capital of the Delta — the Alluvian Hotel, Turnrow Books (one of the South's finest independent bookstores), the Viking Range headquarters and factory, and the Mississippi Blues Trail sites in Leflore County make Greenwood a surprisingly sophisticated Delta destination.
