CF Exotic Pet Expo returns to Jackson

JACKSON, Tenn.—An event returns to Jackson offering a chance to meet some unique animals.

The CF Exotic Pet Expo returned to the fairgrounds this weekend.

The two-day event began on Saturday and continued Sunday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

At the event, guests can visit with different vendors and check out some of the extraordinary animals featured. There are snakes, lizards, and various other reptiles, birds like parrots, kangaroos and small mammals available to see or even purchase. 

For those not interested in taking home a new pet, there are also vendors selling pet related items like feeders, collars, cages, treats and other necessities.

“I’ve been in the dog industry for almost thirty years and to me at the end of the day it’s about adding love to people’s life. There’s nothing better than someone coming up four or five years talking about that’s the best dog they’ve ever owned in their life and that means the world to us,” said Russell Mahan, Ranch Manager for Exotic Pet Expo.

The Pet Expo is an annual event in Jackson. To find out dates for 2026 visit cfexoticpetexpo.com.
