About Hyde County Fair

The Hyde County Fair in Swan Quarter celebrates one of North Carolina's largest and most remote counties, where the Pamlico Sound's western shore and the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge define a landscape of vast wetlands, pocosins, and small farming communities accessible mainly by ferry from Ocracoke Island.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the tight-knit community spirit of one of North Carolina's most isolated and least-visited coastal communities.

Visitor Tips

Swan Quarter is the county seat accessible by ferry from Ocracoke Island. Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge — centered on North Carolina's largest natural lake — is one of the East's premier destinations for migrating waterfowl, particularly tundra swans in winter.
