About Anderson County Fair

The Anderson County Fair in Palestine is a September fair in the Piney Woods gateway of East Texas, celebrating the timber, peach, and cattle heritage of a county famous for the Texas State Railroad, the Palestine Balloon Festival, and the rolling dogwood country along the Neches River.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors featuring East Texas peaches, and a community fair in the pine and hardwood hills of East Central Texas.

Visitor Tips

Palestine is a beautiful East Texas town — the Texas State Railroad runs between Palestine and Rusk through spectacular Piney Woods scenery, the Dogwood Trails in spring are stunning, and the Museum for East Texas Culture preserves the region's distinctive heritage.
