The fair features livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, equestrian events, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair drawing from both the farming families and the resort-community residents of the Sandhills region.

What to Know

Carthage's Moore County Fair celebrates the sandhills of North Carolina where world-class golf courses, horse country, and the longleaf pine ecosystem meet — Moore County's Pinehurst and Southern Pines are globally recognized golf destinations, and the county's horse farms and agricultural communities maintain their fair tradition alongside its affluent resort economy.

Before You Go

Pinehurst's golf courses have hosted multiple US Open championships, and the Pinehurst Resort is one of America's great golf destinations. The Sandhills Community College arboretum and the Campbell House in Southern Pines reflect the county's gracious character beyond the fairways.
