About Jones County Fair

The Jones County Fair in Trenton celebrates one of North Carolina's smallest and most rural counties on the Trent River — Jones County's pine forests, wetlands, and small farms support a community that has maintained its agricultural fair traditions despite limited economic development in this quiet eastern Carolina county.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the genuine small-county community spirit of a place where the Trent River, longleaf pine forests, and small farm operations define daily life.

Visitor Tips

Trenton is one of North Carolina's smallest county seats. Croatan National Forest covers much of Jones County and extends into neighboring Craven and Carteret counties — it's one of the few national forests in the eastern United States with pocosin wetland ecosystems.
