About Washington County Fair

The Washington County Fair in Greenville is a September fair in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, celebrating the cotton and blues heritage of a city that was once the most cosmopolitan city in the Delta — a literary center that produced Shelby Foote, Walker Percy, Hodding Carter, and other major American writers who called this Delta city home.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair in the flat Delta cotton and soybean country of Washington County along the Mississippi River.

Visitor Tips

Greenville is the largest city in the Mississippi Delta — the Delta Blues Museum in nearby Clarksdale, the Doe's Eat Place (one of Mississippi's most legendary restaurants, in a converted grocery store), and the Delta's literary heritage centered in Greenville make this city an outstanding cultural destination in the heart of the Delta.
