About Franklin County Fair
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
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, tobacco exhibits, local food vendors, and a community fair rooted in the agricultural traditions of a county that straddles the line between rural North Carolina and the expanding Triangle metro region.
Visitor Tips
Louisburg is a quiet county seat home to Louisburg College, one of North Carolina's oldest educational institutions. The county's proximity to both the Triangle and the Roanoke Rapids area gives it a transitional character between urban and rural North Carolina.
