About Sumner County Fair

Sumner County is a prosperous Middle Tennessee county north of Nashville on Old Hickory Lake, where Andrew Jackson's Tennessee political network was headquartered and where Gallatin's growing community, Castalian Springs — home of Bledsoe's Fort and one of Tennessee's earliest American settlements — and the county's horse and cattle farming tradition converge.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and fair food serving Sumner County's large and growing Nashville-area suburban agricultural community.

Visitor Tips

Gallatin is the Sumner County seat on TN-109 north of Nashville. Old Hickory Lake offers excellent fishing and recreation, and the Bledsoe's Fort Historical Park at Castalian Springs preserves one of Tennessee's earliest frontier settlements.
