About Carter County Free Fair

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a fair serving the oil industry workers, ranching families, and Chickasaw Nation communities of Carter County.

Visitor Tips

Ardmore is a significant south-central Oklahoma city — the Greater Southwest Historical Museum, the Eliza Cruce Hall Doll Museum, the Chickasaw National Recreation Area just to the west (with the Sulphur Springs, Travertine Creek, and Lake of the Arbuckles), and the Arbuckle Mountains country make Carter County an outstanding destination.
