Grimes County Fair

About Grimes County Fair

The Grimes County Fair in Anderson is a summer fair in the piney woods gateway country of East Central Texas, celebrating the cattle, timber, and watermelon farming heritage of a county defined by its red clay soil and historic county seat.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a small-county fair atmosphere in the rolling piney woods country between Houston and Huntsville.

Visitor Tips

Anderson is one of the most preserved 19th-century courthouse towns in Texas — the Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site (an original stagecoach inn), Gibbons Creek Reservoir, and the Sam Houston National Forest are all nearby.
