About Madison County Fair
The Madison County Fair in Canton is a September fair in the rapidly growing suburbs north of Jackson, celebrating the cotton, antebellum, and emerging suburban heritage of a county that is simultaneously one of Mississippi's most historic (Canton's antebellum courthouse square is among the finest in the state) and one of its fastest growing.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a fair serving the booming Madison County suburbs and the agricultural communities of the county's rural townships.
Visitor Tips
Canton is famous for its courthouse square — the Madison County Courthouse (used as a filming location for "A Time to Kill" and other films), the Canton Flea Market (one of Mississippi's largest open-air markets), and the rapid suburban growth of the Ridgeland-Madison corridor define this diverse Mississippi county.
