What the fair is
The Collierville Twentieth Century Club has hosted the fair since 1976. The town says it has long drawn families from Collierville and beyond “to mark the start of summer.” Its 2025 listing promised live music, arts and crafts, food, games and shopping from more than 100 local vendors; the club’s own count is 160-plus.
The money the club raises goes back into Collierville as grants to educators, organizations and other nonprofits. Each year local high school art students also enter the club’s poster contest, and the winning design goes on the posters around town. Emma Zachra won in 2026.
“Rain or shine, we have always had a GREAT time,” the club says on its past fairs page.
Hours and dates
The club has not posted 2027 hours. The last published schedule, from the town’s 2025 listing, was:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Saturday | 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. |
| Sunday | Noon to 5 p.m. |
The club’s 2023 event pages show the same hours, so the pattern has held for several years.
