The Crawford County Fair, held each September at Kirksey Park in Mulberry, is a cherished community tradition that has brought families together since 1920. For more than a century, the fair has celebrated the heart of Crawford County—its people, agriculture, and small-town pride. Each year, fair week comes alive with carnival rides, live entertainment, agricultural exhibits, local vendors, and classic fair favorites.

At its core, the Crawford County Fair honors our agricultural heritage while investing in the next generation. Local youth take center stage through 4-H and FFA competitions, livestock shows, rodeos, and exhibitions in horticulture, home economics, and the arts. Parents, families, and mentors play an essential role, supporting participants and passing down traditions year after year. From talent competitions to family-friendly events, the fair is a place where hard work is celebrated, community is strengthened, and lasting memories are made.
