About Forsyth County Fair
The Forsyth County Fair in Winston-Salem celebrates the Moravian heritage and tobacco manufacturing legacy of one of North Carolina's largest cities — Winston-Salem was built on Reynolds Tobacco and Hanes textile money, and the county's fair tradition draws from both its urban Piedmont Triad community and the farming families of its rural areas. A 1882 founding makes it one of North Carolina's longer-running agricultural traditions, still going after more than a century.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a large, well-organized fair drawing from the greater Winston-Salem metro population.
Visitor Tips
Winston-Salem's Old Salem Historic District preserves a remarkable Moravian settlement from the 1700s with living history demonstrations. Reynolds Village, the Reynolda House Museum of American Art, and Truist Park (home of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons) are major cultural attractions.
