Stone County Fairgrounds events — Wiggins, Mississippi

Discover the Beloved Stone County Fairgrounds

The Stone County Fairgrounds is more than a fairgrounds — it's a beloved community hub that brings Wiggins together year-round. From the annual fair to family-friendly festivals, Stone County Fairgrounds events showcase the spirit and traditions of Stone County in an easy-to-access, open-air setting.

Located at 717 Airport Rd in Wiggins, Mississippi, the fairgrounds feature versatile, open grounds designed to support both outdoor and indoor activities. The layout flexes to fit the event — from rodeos and parades to seasonal celebrations — with general admission areas and temporary seating like bleachers or folding chairs added as needed.

Programming here centers on the community’s biggest traditions. The Stone County Fair and Parade anchors the calendar, alongside the Barbecue and Blues festival, an Annual Halloween Costume Contest, and the Christmas Parade with the Mayor’s Lighting of the Tree. These recurring events make the fairgrounds a go-to gathering place for residents and visitors alike.

Whether you’re here for festival flavors, live entertainment, or holiday lights, the experience is welcoming and relaxed — and often capped by colorful Mississippi sunsets during evening events. It’s the kind of venue where memories are made, photos are shared, and neighbors reconnect.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Stone County Fairgrounds

717 Airport Rd

Wiggins, MS 39577

Wiggins sits about 40 miles north of Gulfport, making the fairgrounds a convenient regional destination for families and visitors across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

• Parking: On-site parking available; arrive early during major events for the closest lots.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup zones available near main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before major Stone County Fairgrounds events. Early arrival helps you secure parking, find your preferred viewing area, and explore food vendors or exhibits before the crowds build. If you’re attending a parade or headline performance, extra time ensures you can settle into your spot without rushing.

Because the fairgrounds are largely open-air, check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. Mississippi heat can be intense during summer days, and evening temperatures can shift quickly in spring and fall. Bring layers, sun protection, and a lightweight rain jacket if skies look uncertain.

Expect light walking between different zones — the grounds are generally flat, but you’ll appreciate comfortable footwear for moving among stages, vendor rows, and parade routes. If you’re meeting friends or family, set a clear meetup point near a recognizable landmark at the venue entrance to make reconnection easy when crowds grow.

Venue Navigation

The fairgrounds’ layout changes based on the event, but you can expect a mix of open lawns, event tents, vendor areas, and, for some programs, indoor spaces. Wayfinding is typically marked by event signage — look for maps or information booths when you arrive to get the lay of the land.

Concessions and merchandise stands are commonly set up during large fairs and festivals, with lines forming quickly at peak times. Restroom locations vary by setup; check posted signs or ask an attendant for the nearest facilities. Since you may cover a bit of ground, wear comfortable shoes and plan short breaks to recharge between activities.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Policies may vary by event — check your event’s official guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Rules are event-specific. Review the organizer’s restrictions to avoid delays at entry.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Expect an outdoor experience — dress for the weather and wear comfortable footwear.
• Arrive early for the best parking and viewing areas during parades and headline attractions.

Pre-Event Planning

Maximize your day by exploring the fairgrounds early. Food vendors and concessions are typically available during major events, including local barbecue and classic festival favorites — perfect for a pre-show bite or a family snack break. If your schedule allows, catch the late-afternoon window to enjoy possible sunset views before nighttime lights take over.

If you’re headed to a parade, review the event schedule and map to choose a good viewing area. For groups, pick a meetup location near the main entrance or a well-marked booth, and decide on a post-event plan in case cell service gets strained during peak times. Simple planning goes a long way in a lively, open-air environment.

During holiday celebrations, the fairgrounds often feature festive decorations that make for great photos. Build in a little time to stroll the grounds, visit vendor stalls, and check out any exhibits or community showcases that catch your eye.

Accessibility

Accessibility details specific to the Stone County Fairgrounds are limited in available public sources. The grounds are generally flat, which can help with mobility, but event layouts change — so plan your route upon arrival and allow extra time to navigate between activity areas. If you need drop-off closer to the entrance, arrive early and speak with on-site staff for guidance.

For assistance choosing accessible seating or viewing locations, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
