The Ozark Empire Fair is a week-long event where locals and visitors can come together to have fun during the summer. When you visit the fair, you can see how the traditions from the early 1900s still exist today. What started as a traveling display of local area handwork and crafts became a full-fledged fair with diverse activities.
In the 1930s, the fair added the promotion of agriculture, horticulture, manufacture, dairying, poultry, products of domestic industry and raising livestock to its roster. Since then, the fair has grown to support crafters, farmers, industrialists and more. Various exhibitions and booths get set up each year to promote the industries to fairgoers.
Additionally, many competitions occur on the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds, from livestock to crafts. You and your family will enjoy walking around the fairgrounds and checking out every display.

The different stages around the fairgrounds host rotating musicians each night, allowing fairgoers to enjoy their time listening to excellent local talents. You can also witness the hard work of young animal exhibitors as they compete for various scholarships during livestock shows. Artists and crafters can also display their hard work by entering contests in multiple categories, from cooking and carving to sewing, knitting and spinning. Many local artisans with booths around the fairgrounds may also show you their skills and offer advice.
