About Dent County Fall Festival
The Dent County Fair in Salem celebrates the heart of the Missouri Ozarks' Current River headwaters country, where the Maramec Spring — one of the largest springs in the United States — pours from limestone bluffs and the county's timber, cattle, and small farm operations maintain Ozark agricultural traditions in one of Missouri's most authentically rural counties.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the genuine Ozark community spirit of a county where the spring-fed rivers and the Mark Twain National Forest define daily life.
Visitor Tips
Salem is the county seat and gateway to the Current River float fishing country. Maramec Spring Park — a privately owned spring that flows up to 96 million gallons per day — is one of Missouri's most beautiful natural sites, and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways begins its run through Dent County.
