Celebrating Community, Heritage, and Arts Since 1924

Best Little fair in florida

The Walton County Fair, Inc., a non-profit organization run by dedicated volunteers, has been a cornerstone of our community since 1924. Unlike many might assume, we are not affiliated with the Walton County Government. Our mission is to promote Agriculture & Home Arts, providing opportunities for youth and adults to showcase their talents in artwork, handicrafts, crops, and livestock. Our fair celebrates the heritage and heart of Walton County, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our ancestors. Join us in strengthening community ties and honoring our rich history through education, celebration, and community engagement.
