The Delta Fair & Music Festival has started at the Agricenter International in Memphis. The event, known as "Everyone's Fair," includes food, rides, and other attractions. It will run from today until September 8, as reported by FOX13.

The Delta Fair & Music Festival features live music from Tom Mathis & The Broken Dollar Band and Boys Like Girls, along with attractions like a petting zoo and the Stone Age Dinosaur Show. The event also includes competitive events, queen pageants, and livestock shows. Special programs include crafts, cooking, and collectibles. The fair opens at 4 p.m. on Fridays and closes at 11 p.m.

Those seeking family time and a giddy escape can look forward to a variety of daily attractions; admission rates sit comfortably at $15 for adults, a slightly more palatable $10 for both youngsters aged 5-12 and the venerable seniors aged 65 and up, while tots aged 4 and under are granted a free pass, according to FOX13 Memphis.

The Delta Fair & Music Festival offers more than just rides and food. It features championship wrestling, a Banana Derby, and other events, contributing to a strong sense of community. According to Action News 5, the festival is a key part of Memphis tradition, providing ongoing local entertainment.
