Mid-South Fair

Hard as it is to believe, the Mid-South Fair has been a tradition for over 150 years, and each autumn, it brings approximately 500,000 visitors to Midtown Memphis. A plethora of exhibits, competitions, top-notch musical performances, midway rides, and food vendors can be found. The nationally-recognized youth talent contest is one of the fair's most eagerly anticipated events, and a beauty pageant, 4-H/FFA competition, and cheer/dance contest also entertain visitors. Take note: Rides and concerts are charged separately from general admission prices.
