About North Carolina State Fair
The North Carolina State Fair in Raleigh is one of the Southeast's premier annual events, drawing over a million visitors to the capital city for eleven days of world-class entertainment, agriculture, and tradition.
What to Expect
Expect nationally known musical headliners, championship livestock competitions, a massive midway, 4-H and FFA showcase exhibits, competitive displays in every category, and legendary NC fair food.
Visitor Tips
Purchase advance tickets for grandstand acts — they sell out fast. The Fair runs during the Research Triangle's busiest hotel season, so book lodging early. The deep-fried everything is a State Fair tradition.
