We’re thrilled to bring you another year of “The Five Best Days of Summer!”

Hosting this fair in Jones County is an honor, but it wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our loyal fairgoers, dedicated volunteers, and strong communities who come together year after year to build on the best.

We hope you take this chance to try something new, keep cherished traditions alive, and create lasting memories. We take great pride in being the best and remain dedicated to building on that excellence year after year.

As you walk the fairgrounds this year, take a moment to soak it all in—the sights, the smells of funnel cakes and corn dogs, and the excitement of live entertainment, concerts, and unique experiences that don’t come around every day in Jones County.

The best can always get better, and we only have one chance to live in the moment—so make the most of it!

We can’t wait to see what this incredible week has in store for you!
