A Closer Look
Albemarle is home to the Stanly County Fair, which celebrates a Yadkin River county with peach orchards, Carolina Gold Rush history, and the Uwharrie foothills — Stanly County's peaches are among the finest in the Carolinas, and the county's Uwharrie Mountain communities maintain their agricultural and mining traditions at a well-attended Piedmont fair.
Planning Your Visit
Albemarle is the county seat on the Yadkin River reservoir system. Morrow Mountain State Park — an ancient erosion-resistant mountain rising above Lake Tillery — is one of North Carolina's most-visited state parks, and the county's peach orchards produce some of the finest fruit in the region.
Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, peach exhibits, local food vendors, and a community fair drawing from Albemarle's community and the county's rural farming families.
