About Simpson County Fair

The Simpson County Fair in Mendenhall is an August fair in the Piney Woods of south-central Mississippi, celebrating the cattle, timber, and poultry heritage of a county in the lower Pearl River watershed where the longleaf pine forests and mixed farming of the Piney Woods create a predominantly rural agricultural landscape.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling Piney Woods cattle and timber country of Simpson County.

Visitor Tips

Mendenhall is the Simpson County seat — the Bienville National Forest covers much of the surrounding area, and D'Lo Water Park (a beloved Mississippi swimming hole on the Strong River) is a popular outdoor recreation destination in this south-central Mississippi Piney Woods community.
