About Panola County Fair

The Panola County Fair in Batesville is an August fair in the north Mississippi hills east of the Delta, celebrating the cotton, cattle, and timber heritage of a county at the edge of the Delta where the loess bluffs and hill country create a more varied landscape than the flat Delta plain to the west.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling transitional country between the hill country and the Delta.

Visitor Tips

Batesville is the Panola County seat — the Sardis Lake reservoir (one of north Mississippi's most popular outdoor recreation destinations, with outstanding crappie fishing and camping) and the surrounding cotton and timber hill country define the Panola County landscape.
