West Tennessee
World's Biggest Fish Fry
Catfish, a pageant, and a small-town midway — Paris Landing country in late April.
Paris has fried catfish for a crowd since 1953 and still claims the world's biggest fish fry. The week mixes a rodeo, a pageant, carnival rides, and more catfish than a family can finish. Paris Landing State Park is a short drive if you want a lake afternoon around the fair.

The fairgrounds meal line moves faster at lunch than at supper. Dates follow the traditional last full week of April.
