About Clarendon County Fair

Clarendon County holds a monumental place in American civil rights history — Briggs v. Elliott, filed here in 1950, was the first of the five cases consolidated into Brown v. Board of Education, making Clarendon County's Scott's Branch School the foundational site of the Supreme Court's landmark school desegregation ruling.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Clarendon County's Coastal Plain farming heritage and its foundational role in the American civil rights movement.

Visitor Tips

Manning is the Clarendon County seat on I-95 in the SC Lowcountry. The Briggs v. Elliott memorial in Summerton marks the birthplace of the Brown v. Board of Education decision — one of the most significant civil rights sites in America.
