About Halifax County Fair

The Halifax County Fair celebrates a Roanoke River county where the Halifax Resolves of April 12, 1776 made North Carolina the first colony to formally authorize independence from Britain — the county's tobacco and cotton heritage and the Roanoke River bottomlands define an agricultural landscape with deep historical significance.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, tobacco exhibits, local food vendors, and a fall fair honoring the farming traditions of one of North Carolina's most historically significant counties.

Visitor Tips

Halifax is a remarkably preserved colonial-era county seat — Historic Halifax State Historic Site preserves the core of the 18th-century town. Roanoke Rapids Lake and the Roanoke Canal Museum tell the story of early American industrial history, and Medoc Mountain State Park provides hiking nearby.
