Madison County Fair

Each year exciting events at the Madison County Fair, including livestock shows, tractor pulls, demolition derbies (both automobile and combine!), musicians, 4-H exhibits, pageants and stock car races draw over 216,000 exhibitors, families, vendors and visitors from all over Madison County and the surrounding area. With areas of interest ranging from livestock to stock car races – there is something for everyone at the Madison County Fair!

The Madison County Fair Association, chartered in 1872, has evolved into what it is today due to the hard work, heart and dedication of numerous volunteer members. Many volunteers work and donate their time and talents throughout the year to help facilitate successful entertainment and exhibits for the fair. The Madison County Fair has been a place of fun and education for families in Highland and all of Southern Illinois for well over a century!
