Good to Know
Table Rock Lake — one of the clearest lakes in the Midwest — dominates Stone County with miles of recreational shoreline. The lake's proximity to Branson makes Stone County one of the most-visited counties in Missouri during summer, and the White River Heritage and fishing traditions are central to county identity.
Stone County Fair Overview
Held annually in Galena, the Stone County Fair celebrates a southwest Missouri Ozarks county where Table Rock Lake's eastern arm and the White River country create a major tourism and recreation economy alongside the county's cattle and small farm operations -- Galena is the quiet county seat of a county dominated by its spectacular lake scenery. The 2026 fair was canceled -- organizers announced in June 2026 that they did not receive enough community participation and volunteer support to put on the event this year.
Highlights
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair celebrating the agricultural heritage of a county where Table Rock Lake's clear waters and the surrounding Ozark hills define the landscape.
