About Monroe County Fair

Monroe County is Southeast Tennessee's scenic gateway, home to the Cherohala Skyway — one of America's most spectacular byways crossing the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests — and Tellico Plains, where fly fishing in the Tellico River draws anglers from across the Southeast to the southern edge of the Appalachian Mountains.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and fair food celebrating Monroe County's Appalachian farming heritage and Cherokee heritage in the Tennessee-North Carolina border mountains.

Visitor Tips

Madisonville is the Monroe County seat. The Cherohala Skyway offers world-class scenic driving through the Cherokee National Forest — plan a full day on this spectacular route alongside the county fair.
