What You'll Find There

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair serving the growing Columbus metro area and the agricultural communities of Lowndes County along the Tombigbee River.

The Fair

Held each August in Columbus, Lowndes County Fair celebrates the antebellum cotton, military, and literary heritage of a city that was the birthplace of Tennessee Williams — one of the greatest playwrights in American history.

Local Tips

Columbus is an exceptional Mississippi city — the Tennessee Williams birthplace (the "House of the Magnolias"), Columbus Air Force Base (one of the USAF's primary pilot training bases), the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, and the Columbus Pilgrimage (featuring dozens of antebellum homes) make Columbus a destination with rare depth.
