About Rankin County Fair

The Rankin County Fair in Brandon is a September fair in the fastest-growing suburb of Jackson, celebrating the cattle, poultry, and suburban heritage of a county that has experienced explosive residential growth as Mississippi's capital city has expanded eastward across the Pearl River into the rolling pine hills of Rankin County.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a fair serving the large and diverse suburban population of the Jackson metro's eastern corridor.

Visitor Tips

Brandon is the Rankin County seat — the Ross Barnett Reservoir (the "Rez") on the Pearl River is one of Mississippi's most popular recreation areas, and the I-20 corridor connecting Brandon to Jackson defines the commercial backbone of Mississippi's most dynamic suburban county.
