About American Legion Fairgrounds Walton County Fair

The American Legion Fairgrounds hosts the Walton County Fair each spring in Monroe, Georgia. Visitors explore exhibits and activities across the fairgrounds while supporting a veteran-led community organization. The fair features free admission for veterans, seniors, and children under five. Families encounter various exhibits and demonstrations typical of county fairs throughout the region. The American Legion Post 64, chartered in 1925 and named after two World War I soldiers from Walton County, operates the fairgrounds at the intersection of Church and Poplar streets. Beyond the fair, the Legion hosts weekly bingo on Friday evenings where the Women's Auxiliary sells refreshments. The organization also conducts a fall turkey shoot and holds an annual Veterans and Membership Appreciation Day with barbecue. These events fund the post's community services, including support for deployed military families, veteran cemetery ceremonies, toy drives, and fruit basket distributions throughout Walton County.
