About Pontotoc County Fair
The Pontotoc County Fair in Pontotoc is an August fair in the hills of north-central Mississippi, celebrating the cotton and cattle heritage of a county named for a Chickasaw word meaning "land of hanging grapes" — a reference to the wild muscadine grapes that once covered the oak and hickory hills of this rolling north Mississippi terrain.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling red clay and cotton country of the upper Tallahatchie River watershed.
Visitor Tips
Pontotoc is the Pontotoc County seat — the Natchez Trace Parkway to the west (following the ancient Chickasaw trail that became one of America's most important early roads) and the surrounding north Mississippi hill country farmland define the Pontotoc County landscape.
