New to The Cotton Fair!
Robin’sons Racing Pigs 🐷 are appearing at the Cotton Fair for the first time! With decades of racing under their belts (and appearances at major fairs, festivals, and even TV), these little athletes know how to put on a show. And it’s true… they race for Oreos!  Bring the whole family out to meet them at The Cotton Fair Pre-Event on Friday, May 1st starting at 5PM. It's the perfect kickoff to a fun-filled weekend.

Das Kaiser is bringing their unique energy to kick off The Cotton Fair weekend! Join us Friday, May 1st at 6PM for the Pre-Event Party at Towerhouse Farm Brewery as Das Kaiser takes the stage with a set that’s guaranteed to get you up for a little dancing?

The Cotton Fair has been a staple in the community of Gay, Georgia for over 50 years. Each year during the first weekend of May and October, the Festival brings a bustling crowd into our historic town of Gay. The festival is a chance to discover unique, skilled artisans and one-of-a-kind crafts and antiques.
