Before You Go
Monroe is a growing suburban county seat with a charming historic downtown. Union County's peach orchards are a summer institution, and the county's proximity to Charlotte makes it one of the fastest-growing communities in the Carolinas.
What to Know
Every year, Monroe hosts the Union County Fair, which celebrates one of North Carolina's fastest-growing counties — Union County's explosive Charlotte-area suburban growth has transformed it from an agricultural county to one of the state's wealthiest communities, while its farming heritage and peach orchards remain central to its identity and its traditional county fair.
On the Midway
The fair features livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a large, well-organized fair drawing from one of the Charlotte metro area's most populous and prosperous suburban counties.
