‘Eight-Oh! Everything Happening at Four States Fair Texarkana

Are you ready? The 80th annual Four States Fair and Rodeo will kick off this Friday, April 4, 2025, in Texarkana, Arkansas at the Four States  Fairgrounds.

The Big 80!

This is an exciting time for the fair because this marks the 80th year in Texarkana. This year's theme is "Eight-oh! Eighty Years of Wild Rides." The fair has added two new attractions: the new Mini-Outlaw Cars at the Demolition Derby, with over 60 cars participating, and the all-new carnival Miller Spectacular Shows.

Monster Trucks Are Back

What would a fair be without the monster trucks? AMMP Motorsports Monster Mash kick starts the fair on Friday night, April 4, with supercharged high-flying, adrenaline-pumping, edge-of-your-seat entertainment for all ages.
