About Henderson County Fair

The Henderson County Fair in Hendersonville celebrates the apple orchards, craft beverages, and Blue Ridge Mountain beauty of western North Carolina's most productive agricultural county — Henderson County grows more apples than any other county in the eastern United States, and the fair reflects this orchard heritage in the mountains south of Asheville.

What to Expect

Expect apple exhibits, livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, orchard and craft beverage vendors, carnival rides, and a well-organized fair celebrating the apple capital of the eastern United States.

Visitor Tips

Hendersonville's apple orchards are the centerpiece of the county's agricultural identity — the North Carolina Apple Festival in September is one of the state's premier food festivals. Jump Off Rock overlook, Flat Rock Playhouse (State Theatre of North Carolina), and Connemara (Carl Sandburg's home) are major attractions.
