About Dunklin County Fair

The Dunklin County Fair in Kennett celebrates the heart of Missouri's Bootheel cotton country — Dunklin County is one of Missouri's leading cotton-producing counties, and the flat alluvial soils of the Bootheel lowlands support cotton, soybeans, rice, and corn in one of the South's northernmost cotton-growing regions.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, cotton and row crop exhibits, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair reflecting the unique agricultural culture of Missouri's Mississippi Delta country.

Visitor Tips

Kennett is the commercial center of the Bootheel and was the birthplace of Chuck Berry — a museum honoring the rock and roll pioneer is a local attraction. The county's cotton landscape is among Missouri's most striking agricultural vistas.
