About Lowndes County Fair

The Lowndes County Fair in Columbus is an August fair in northeast Mississippi at the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, celebrating 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.

What to Expect

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.

Visitor 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.
