About Ozark County Fair

The Ozark County Fair in Gainesville celebrates the headwaters of the North Fork of the White River, where some of Missouri's finest trout fishing draws anglers to spring-fed streams in one of the state's most authentically Ozark counties — cattle, timber, and small farms sustain small communities in a remote and beautiful landscape.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the genuine Ozark community spirit of a remote hill county where the traditions of Ozark cattle farming and outdoor recreation define community life.

Visitor Tips

Gainesville is the county seat of one of Missouri's most remote counties. The North Fork of the White River is a premier trout fishing destination, and the surrounding Mark Twain National Forest provides excellent hiking, hunting, and camping in a landscape little changed from pioneer times.
