Fall’s Finest Festival Returns to Rome

As the leaves begin to change and autumn settles across Northwest Georgia, one of the region’s most cherished traditions will once again bring families, friends, and neighbors together. The Coosa Valley Fair returns to Rome, Georgia, October 6–10, 2026, promising five exciting days filled with entertainment, community spirit, competition, and unforgettable memories.

Rooted in a long-standing tradition of celebrating agriculture, arts, education, and family fun, the 2026 Coosa Valley Fair is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events in its history.

Since its founding in 1949, the Coosa Valley Fair has served as a cornerstone of the Rome and Floyd County community, creating generations of memories while supporting local organizations and providing a place where people can gather to celebrate the very best of Northwest Georgia.

The fair continues to honor its rich heritage while introducing new attractions and experiences that keep visitors returning year after year.

One of the featured attractions for 2026 will be the spectacular Pirates of the Caribbean Show, a thrilling high-flying trapeze performance that combines daring acrobatics, breathtaking stunts, and swashbuckling adventure.

Back by popular demand, Jurassic World returns as an exciting attraction featuring remarkably lifelike dinosaurs that appear to have stepped straight out of prehistory.

Of course, no visit to the Coosa Valley Fair would be complete without the sights, sounds, and excitement of the midway. Wade Shows will once again bring an impressive lineup of rides, games, and classic fair foods.

The fair also continues its proud tradition of showcasing the talents and accomplishments of local residents through the Arts and Crafts Competition. Entry information and competition details are available on the Coosa Valley Fair website.

Entertainment will be found throughout the fairgrounds all week long, including encounters with a strolling magician who will create moments of surprise and laughter around every corner.

Community involvement remains at the heart of the Coosa Valley Fair experience. The fair’s popular pageants will once again provide contestants of all ages with the opportunity to participate in one of the fair’s most beloved traditions.

Adding even more excitement to the week will be Spirit Night, featuring local cheerleaders who will bring enthusiasm, energy, and hometown pride to the fairgrounds.

Beyond the headline attractions, visitors will find everything that has made the Coosa Valley Fair a regional favorite for decades. Community exhibits, local businesses, agricultural displays, fine arts, photography exhibits, and educational displays all combine to create an experience that celebrates the people, talents, and traditions of Rome and Floyd County.
