About Ste. Genevieve County Fair

The Ste. Genevieve County Fair celebrates Missouri's oldest European settlement — Ste. Genevieve was founded by French Creole settlers around 1735, and the remarkably preserved Creole architecture of the town's historic district makes it one of America's most authentic colonial French communities, now complemented by wine production and limestone quarrying alongside its agricultural heritage.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors with French Creole and Missouri agricultural traditions, and a fair celebrating one of the most historically significant communities in the American Midwest.

Visitor Tips

Ste. Genevieve's historic district preserves over 40 French Creole structures from the 18th and 19th centuries — the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement west of the Mississippi. The town's wineries, the Felix Valle House State Historic Site, and the Mississippi River waterfront define a community of extraordinary historical depth.
