After reviewing feedback from the 2025 fair, we saw that the midway and carnival were popular themes among attendees. As we begin planning for the 2026 Houston County Fair (August 19–23), the Fair Board is considering whether to look into the possibility of bringing a carnival to the fair.
Before we take any steps, we want to hear from YOU — our community. Your input will help us decide whether to explore options for a carnival in 2026.

As the fairgrounds grow quiet, the livestock have returned home, and the buildings stand empty once again, we find ourselves reflecting on our favorite five days of summer.

From admiring incredible projects and livestock to reconnecting with community members and enjoying everything in between — we hope you found joy, inspiration, and connection at this year’s fair.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing sponsors who believed in us, and to YOU for showing up, sharing your time, and making the fair unforgettable.

See you August 19-23, 2026!
