St. Tammany Parish Fair

St. Tammany Parish Fair Association formed in 1910. Records show that the first fair started out as a pet show held in what was then the City Park. In 1911, it was called the St. Tammany Stock, Poultry & Pet Animal Exhibition. While many things have changed over the years, one thing still remains the same: the focus on our community. The Fair now features (2022) 16 fair pageants, a Rodeo Queen Contest, Essay and Poster contest, Kids Day, Gospel Night, Parade, Opening Ceremony, Cheer/Dance Competition, Rodeo, Livestock competitions, Exhibits, entertainment and carnival rides. During the years that Trey Folse was our school Superintendent, every single school participated in the school booths. The Fair Association also gives back approximately $25,000 annually to the schools, to exhibit entries and in scholarships.
