About Lowndes County 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.
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.
