A Closer Look
The Sunflower County Fair in Indianola is an August fair in the Mississippi Delta, celebrating the cotton and blues heritage of a county that was the birthplace of B.B. King — one of the most influential guitarists in the history of American music — and where the Delta blues and the cotton economy that shaped it still define the landscape.
Fair Highlights
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair in the flat Delta cotton and catfish farming country of Sunflower County.
Planning Your Visit
Indianola is B.B. King's hometown — the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola is one of the finest music heritage museums in the South, and the surrounding Delta cotton fields and catfish ponds preserve the landscape that shaped the music of the King of the Blues.
