About Marion County Fair

The Marion County Fair in Columbia is an August fair in the Piney Woods of south-central Mississippi, celebrating the cattle, timber, and Pearl River heritage of a county anchored by Columbia — a Piney Woods city on the Pearl River that serves as a commercial hub for the timber and livestock country between Hattiesburg and Brookhaven.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair in the longleaf pine and hardwood timber country of the Pearl River watershed.

Visitor Tips

Columbia is the Marion County seat on the Pearl River — the Marion County area is one of Mississippi's most productive timber counties, and the Pearl River bottomlands offer excellent fishing and wildlife watching in the Piney Woods country of south-central Mississippi.
