The Maury County Fair is set to kick off a fun-filled Labor Day weekend of rides, events and more at Maury County Park.
This year's fair events are scheduled to run from Thursday through Monday.
Traditionally, the Maury County Fair arrives as the summer comes to an end, with the event growing more popular each year. Whether it is attending nightly main events, loading up on carnival food or riding the rides and playing games for prizes, the fair provides a wide variety of activities to enjoy.
Several Maury County Fair staples will be returning this year, starting with Thursday's rodeo main event.
Other events will include the Fairest of the Fair, a tractor pull, beef and goat shows, as well as motocross on Saturday night.
Senior citizens ages 55 and older can also receive free admission (not including rides) Friday during Senior Day.
The 2024 fair will also bring back My Day from 9:30 a.m. to noon Friday, providing free access to rides and a lunch to the community's special needs children, adults and students. Last year's My Day set a new record with nearly 1,000 in attendance.
