About Pike County Fair

The Pike County Fair in Bowling Green celebrates a northeast Missouri county on the Mississippi River bluffs where Mark Twain's fictional Dawson's Landing in "Pudd'nhead Wilson" was modeled on Louisiana, Missouri — the county's historic river towns, corn and soybean farms, and livestock operations reflect a prosperous agricultural heritage rooted in the antebellum river economy.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair honoring the agricultural and literary heritage of a northeast Missouri river bluffs county.

Visitor Tips

Bowling Green is the county seat. Louisiana, Missouri — the county's Mississippi River town — is one of the most beautifully preserved antebellum towns on the river, and the Lock and Dam on the Mississippi draws fishermen and barge-watchers from the region.
