About Marion County Fair

Marion County is the namesake of Francis Marion — the "Swamp Fox," Revolutionary War general who conducted guerrilla warfare against British forces from the Pee Dee swamps — in a Lowcountry county where tobacco farming, the Black River watershed, and a rural African American community heritage define one of South Carolina's most historically significant farming counties.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Marion County's Pee Dee tobacco farming heritage and the Swamp Fox legacy.

Visitor Tips

Marion is the county seat on US-501 in the Pee Dee. The Francis Marion legend is alive throughout the county — the swamp terrain that sheltered his raids remains largely unchanged along the Black River corridor.
