Planning Your Visit
Charlotte's NASCAR Hall of Fame, Discovery Place Science museum, and the U.S. National Whitewater Center are major attractions. The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence (1775) predates the national Declaration, and the county's role in American banking history is honored at the Levine Museum of the New South.
Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a large, diverse fair drawing from Charlotte's enormous and rapidly growing metro population.
A Closer Look
The Mecklenburg County Fair in Charlotte celebrates North Carolina's largest city and one of the South's fastest-growing metro areas — Charlotte was built on cotton and banking, and Mecklenburg County's fair tradition honors the agricultural communities that once defined this now-urban county while serving one of the nation's most dynamic cities. The area's broader history includes notable events and landmarks dating to 1775.
