The Alabama National Fair is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our main objective is to raise funds to support children and youth charities throughout Central Alabama which are distributed through the Kiwanis Club of Montgomery. To date, more than $5.8 million has been distributed to charities through the Alabama National Fair’s proceeds and more than $2.3 million in prize money has been paid out to competitive winners over the last 56 years. In these tough economic times it is great to know that we can provide a great educational, and fun family event while providing assistance to those who are in need.
“Thrill, Squeals, and Ferris Wheels…It’s Fair-tastic” is the theme for the 57th Alabama National Fair presented October 8 – 17, 2010. New outdoor entertainment will include the Great American Frontier Show, Welde’s Big Bear Show, and Robinson’s Racing Pigs and Paddling Porkers. Also the Puppetone Rockers, Joseph Bauer’s Circus Maximus, and Circle C Petting Zoo will be back again this year. There are many competitive divisions for youth and adults to participate in such as livestock, baking, needlework, quilting, photography, art, and many other competitions. The Fair will open with our third annual Salute to America’s Veterans on Friday night. This year we are honoring our Korean War Veterans. Performing on stage during the ten days of the Fair will be Blake Shelton, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Fusion, Wayne Mills Band, and The Charlie Daniels Band.
