What to Know
Every year, Mt. Airy hosts the Surry County Agricultural Fair, which celebrates the agricultural heritage of the Mayberry-inspired Blue Ridge foothills of northwestern North Carolina.
On the Midway
Expect livestock judging, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and the charm of a community that inspired Andy Griffith's hometown of Mayberry.
Before You Go
Mt. Airy is the real-life inspiration for Mayberry — don't miss a Barney's patrol car tour and a visit to Snappy Lunch before or after the fair.
