About Tippah County Fair
The Tippah County Fair in Ripley is a July fair in the rolling hills of north Mississippi, celebrating the cotton, cattle, and timber heritage of a county that was home to William Faulkner's great-grandfather — the "Old Colonel" William Clark Falkner — whose railroad-building, writing, and dueling exploits helped inspire Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the red clay hill country of the Tippah River watershed.
Visitor Tips
Ripley is the Tippah County seat — the Colonel William C. Falkner Monument and the Tippah County Historical Museum preserve the heritage of this northeast Mississippi hill country, and the surrounding cotton and cattle farmland maintains the agricultural character of north Mississippi.
