West Tennessee State Fair 2026
171 years of tradition, competition, and community — coming back to Henderson this October.
West Tennessee State Fair — a century of tradition
Our Legacy in West Tennessee
Since 1855, the West Tennessee State Fair has been a pillar of tradition in our region — growing from an agricultural showcase into a celebration of community, competition, and family.
What began as a small gathering of local farmers and families has transformed into a multi-day celebration of everything we love: livestock shows, delicious food, thrilling rides, crafts, pageants, and music that fills the air. As one of the longest-running events in the region, the fair continues to evolve — bringing together generations of fairgoers, old and new.
