Our Mission | Press Room

The original and still the best, the Mid-South Fair has entertained families for 152 years. We’ve hosted superstars, launched careers, and made memories for people of all ages.

As a non-profit organization, our mission is not to make money. Rather, the Fair exists to create a cultural and entertainment experience that exposes the people in our community to items and events they might not otherwise encounter. In addition, we serve as a focal point for all sorts of organizations and communities. And we even provide thousands of dollars in scholarships to local kids.

So when you visit the Fair, you’re not just having a great time. You’re helping to keep tradition alive.
