About Perquimans County Fair

The Perquimans County Fair in Hertford celebrates a Perquimans River county on the Albemarle Sound where the oldest surviving bridge in North Carolina — the S-curved Hertford swing bridge — spans the river, and the county's agricultural communities of peanuts and soybeans have supported these waterfront communities since the colonial era.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, peanut and agricultural exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a small Albemarle Sound county where everyone knows their neighbor.

Visitor Tips

Hertford is a charming waterfront county seat with the famous S-curved Perquimans River bridge (1928). The Newbold-White House — the oldest surviving brick structure in North Carolina (circa 1730) — is in Perquimans County, a testament to the region's early settlement history.
