The Franklin County Fair in Louisburg celebrates a Tar River Piedmont county between the Research Triangle and the Roanoke Rapids area, where tobacco, livestock, and cotton farming communities have maintained their agricultural fair traditions despite the growing suburban pull of Raleigh to the south.

What to Expect
