About Pottawatomie County Free Fair
Held each August in Shawnee, Pottawatomie County Free Fair celebrates the cattle, peanut, and pecan heritage of a county with deep connections to the Citizen Potawatomi Nation and Absentee Shawnee Tribe, whose tribal capitals are located here.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair reflecting the agricultural and tribal heritage of Pottawatomie County.
Visitor Tips
Shawnee is home to multiple tribal nations — the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center and FireLake Casinos, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art (Oklahoma's oldest art museum), and the nearby Thunderbird Lake make Shawnee a more culturally layered destination than its size suggests.
