Bullock County Alabama Fairgrounds Events

If you searched for Bullock County fairgrounds, you want a fair date, a livestock show, or a spot to sell. As of October 2026, we could not find a published listing for a dedicated fairgrounds, an annual county fair, or a county farmers or flea market in Bullock County, Alabama. This page covers what the county does have, who to call, and where Bullock County families go for fair season.

Overview of Bullock County Fairgrounds

What’s confirmed and what isn’t

No fair board, address, acreage, or event calendar for a Bullock County fairgrounds turned up. The county’s calendar at bullockal.com lists Commission meetings held at the courthouse, not fair or arena events. So we won’t give you an address that may not exist.

Union Springs and the county

Union Springs is the county seat and the county’s only incorporated city. Bullock County was created in 1866 from parts of Macon, Montgomery, Pike, and Barbour counties. The 2020 census counted 3,358 residents in town, and the name comes from 27 springs. The city says its economy has stayed tied to agriculture from its founding to today.

Why there’s no midway tradition to point to

The county was a cotton center, sitting wholly within the Black Belt. By the early 1900s, Comer-family cotton mills opened in Union Springs, and later old cotton fields became bird-dog field-trial grounds. Hunting and dog trials, not carnival rides, built the county’s visitor economy.

The County Fair Itself

We found no Bullock County Fair with its own name, dates, premium book, midway, food stands, or grandstand acts. That means no confirmed ride counts, wristband deals, or gate prices, and we won’t guess at them. If a church, school, or civic club runs a local fall event, the Tourism Council is the place to ask. If you’ve attended a Bullock County fair, tell us so this page can be corrected.

There’s no local vendor application to point to. Two routes:

• Local sales: ask the Tourism Council at (334) 738-8687 about community events, markets, or festivals that take vendors.
