About Delaware County Free Fair

The Delaware County Free Fair in Jay is an August fair in the Ozark foothills of far northeast Oklahoma, celebrating the cattle, poultry, and Cherokee heritage of a county defined by the crystalline waters of the Illinois River and the towering limestone bluffs of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the forested hill country of the Ozark border where Oklahoma meets Arkansas and Missouri.

Visitor Tips

Jay is the Delaware County seat — the Illinois River (one of Oklahoma's most pristine float streams), the Natural Dam (the widest natural dam in North America, just across the border in Arkansas), and the spectacular Grand Lake O' the Cherokees shoreline make Delaware County one of Oklahoma's most scenic corners.
