About Pemiscot County Fair

The Pemiscot County Fair in Caruthersville celebrates Missouri's southernmost Bootheel county at the confluence of the Mississippi River and the Pemiscot Bayou, where cotton, soybeans, and rice farming in the Delta alluvial plain support communities in one of Missouri's most distinctly Southern agricultural landscapes.

What to Expect

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

Visitor Tips

Caruthersville sits on the Mississippi River near the Tennessee border. The county's Delta landscape is indistinguishable from the cotton country of Tennessee and Arkansas just across the river, and the New Madrid Seismic Zone — which produced the massive 1811-1812 earthquakes — runs beneath the county.
