Founded in 1920, the Crawford County Fair has been a long-standing tradition in Mulberry, Arkansas, bringing together generations of families, farmers, and community members to celebrate the agricultural heritage of Crawford County.

What began as a small gathering to showcase livestock, crops, and handmade goods has grown into one of the county’s most anticipated annual events.

Today, the fair is proudly held each September at Kirksey Park, a central gathering place in Mulberry that transforms into the heart of fair week, filled with barns, show rings, exhibits, and activities for the entire community. At Kirksey Park, youth and adults alike have the opportunity to showcase their hard work in livestock, home economics, and agricultural projects while building confidence, leadership, and lifelong skills through participation in 4-H and FFA programs.

Over the past century, thousands of exhibitors have walked through these barns and arenas, supported by parents, mentors, and a community that values tradition and opportunity. The Crawford County Fair continues to honor its rich history while creating new memories through pageants, competitions, entertainment, and family activities, remaining a proud celebration of the people, traditions, and future of Crawford County.
