About Texas County Fair

The Texas County Fair in Houston — Missouri's Houston — celebrates the largest county by area in Missouri, where the Gasconade River headwaters, the Current River tributaries, and the vast stretches of Mark Twain National Forest support cattle, timber, and small farm operations in one of the Ozarks' most expansive and authentically rural counties.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the deep Ozark community spirit of Missouri's largest county, where the forest and the river define daily life far from the state's population centers.

Visitor Tips

Houston is the county seat of Missouri's largest county by area. The Gasconade River headwaters provide excellent trout fishing, and the Mark Twain National Forest covers vast stretches of the county's rugged Ozark terrain.
