Some people call The Tangipahoa Parish Fair, The Tangipahoa Parish Free Fair because it’s free to get in. There’s no charge to get in the gates.
You do have to pay for rides and food, of course.
It’s a fair for families with live music, carnival rides, a pie eating contest, a cook-off, exhibits from 4-H kids, a livestock show, a village for Native American History, Pioneer Town and even a womanless pageant.
