Barbour County Alabama Fairgrounds Events

The Barbour County Fair in Alabama is held at 4010 Hwy 431 South in Eufaula. Barbour County covers the southeast corner of the state along the Georgia line. Clayton is the county seat and Eufaula is the largest city, and courts operate in both towns. The fairgrounds sit on the Eufaula side, so people coming from Clayton, Louisville, Clio, or Blue Springs should plan on a drive across the county.

The fair is young. Its own website says it was established in 2023 and began on 8 rented acres along US-431. This guide covers what the grounds are used for, how the fair works, and who to call. Dates and prices change from year to year, so confirm them with the fair office before you go.

Overview of Barbour County Fairgrounds

Location: 4010 Hwy 431 South, Eufaula, AL 36027, on US-431. Eufaula is on the Chattahoochee River and Lake Eufaula.

Acreage and layout: The fair’s site says it started on 8 rented acres on 431.

Who runs it: The fair’s site says it was established to promote and encourage agriculture, industry, science, art, and other interests of Barbour County, and describes a fair board that works year-round. It lists itself as an Alabama Fairs event.
The Barbour County Extension office, at 525 School Street in Eufaula, coordinates 4-H and agricultural programs in the county. Its 2022 annual report lists livestock and poultry educational events among its work, and it works with the Barbour County Cattlemen’s group and the Farmers Federation.

Why it matters locally: Farming was the main occupation for most residents until the middle of the twentieth century, and cotton gins and warehouses grew up around Eufaula. The fair says it has become the largest event in the county, and it builds on that farming background with 4-H projects and agricultural exhibits.

Upcoming Events at Barbour County Fairgrounds

Ticket listing sites show no scheduled events for 2026–2027, but those sites don’t carry this fair. The fair posts on its website and on a Facebook page called “Barbour County Fair,” which lists the same Eufaula address.

Besides the fair, the grounds host other events. The fair’s site names the Lewis and Clark Circus and Wing Fest, plus a petting zoo and shows by an antique tractor association.
