About Newton County Fair

The Newton County Fair in Decatur is an August fair in the Piney Woods of east-central Mississippi, celebrating the cattle, timber, and poultry heritage of a county along the Chunky River where the rolling red clay hills of central Mississippi transition toward the longleaf pine forests of the south.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the Piney Woods and red clay hill country of Newton County.

Visitor Tips

Decatur is the Newton County seat — the city of Newton (the county's largest town, on the old Southern Railway main line) and the Chunky River corridor preserve the small-town railroad heritage and timber country character of east-central Mississippi.
