About McDonald County Fair
The McDonald County Fair in Pineville celebrates Missouri's southwesternmost county on the Arkansas and Oklahoma borders, where Elk River float fishing, cattle ranching, and the Thunder Chicken turkey culture of the Ozarks come together in a remote corner of the state where three states' mountain traditions intersect.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the deeply Ozark community spirit of a county where the Elk and Neosho rivers, the Arkansas border, and Oklahoma are all within easy reach.
Visitor Tips
Pineville is the tiny county seat at the Arkansas border. Elk River is one of the Ozarks' finest canoe and float fishing streams, and the county's remote location makes it one of Missouri's most authentically rural communities, little changed from generations past.
