About Delta Fair

The Delta Fair in New Madrid rounds out Missouri's fair season in late September and early October in one of the most historically significant spots in the state — the site of the New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–1812, the most powerful seismic events in North American recorded history. The fair brings the community of this tiny Mississippi River town together at the close of the agricultural year.

What to Expect

Visitors will find livestock shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, fair food, and local entertainment over five days in a setting steeped in both agricultural and geological history.

Visitor Tips
