Tangipahoa Parish Fair | Oct 4

Passion. Teamwork. Commitment.

Welcome to Louisiana’s Oldest Fair

Since 1888, the Tangipahoa Parish Fair has provided an avenue to showcase local culture, preserve our history, promote economic development, and nurture community pride through agricultural exhibits, music, food, talent showcases, rides, and so much more!

The Tangipahoa Parish Fair embodies all aspects of our parish from the north to south end. Although much has changed throughout the years, we pride ourselves on remaining true to our roots.

What The Fair Has to Offer

Education

By encouraging school participation, we strive to keep the Tangipahoa Parish Fair educational for all students. Students are encouraged to participate in the Parish Fair by entering our annual Spelling Bee, creating displays based on the yearly theme (From Wagon Wheels to Ferris Wheels), and asking their school directors about other ways they can get involved. For a unique learning opportunity, we invite guests to check out our Pioneer Town exhibit, where they'll find active demonstrations about old-fashioned sawmills, gristmills, and syrup-making.

What The Fair Has to Offer

Agriculture

Agriculture remains a fundamental aspect of Tangipahoa Parish, and carrying on the tradition is essential. At the fair, you can expect to see interactive agricultural exhibits which utilize hands-on activities that are both fun and informative. These activities include a petting zoo, corn pool, 4-H livestock show, animal husbandry demonstrations, and more. We promise you will leave with new knowledge that you can carry on with you for years to come.
