The 80th Annual Four States Fair & Rodeo roared into its first full Saturday with a high-octane mix of thrills, music, and midway magic, drawing families and fair lovers from across the region to Texarkana, Arkansas… IF WEATHER PERMITS!
IF RAIN ALLOWS, the midway will open! Friday washed the midway out, and hopefully, we will get to ride some rides today. The Demolition Derby will happen tonight at 7:30 pm.

But the real rumble begins in the evening.
At 6:00 p.m., engines will roar and metal will fly at the 33rd Annual Demolition Derby, a crowd favorite that never fails to deliver smash-’em-up excitement in the grandstand arena.
Just next door, music fans can kick back and enjoy the Southern rock and country stylings of the Moss Brothers Band, hitting the Outdoor Stage at 6:30 p.m. for a free concert under the open sky.
It’s just the start of a full week of fun as the Four States Fair & Rodeo celebrates eight decades of tradition, entertainment, and community spirit.
So whether you’re in it for the rides, the wrecks, or the rhythm, Saturday’s lineup proves one thing—Texarkana knows how to throw a fair.
