About Mississippi County Fair

The Mississippi County Fair in Charleston celebrates the heart of Missouri's Bootheel cotton and soybean country where the Mississippi River's alluvial plain — some of the world's most fertile agricultural soils — produces outstanding row crop yields in one of America's most agriculturally productive counties.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, cotton and soybean exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair reflecting the unique Delta agricultural culture of Missouri's Mississippi River Bootheel.

Visitor Tips

Charleston is the commercial hub of Missouri's northernmost Delta country. The Mississippi River's New Madrid Bend — where the river curves dramatically eastward before returning west — is visible from the county's levee system, and the Towosahgy State Historic Site preserves a significant Native American mound complex.
