A Closer Look
Held annually in Warrenton, the Warren County Fair celebrates a Roanoke River Piedmont county with deep historical roots in North Carolina's tobacco economy and civil rights movement — Warren County became a center of the national environmental justice movement in 1982 when protests against a PCB landfill siting drew national attention to the disproportionate environmental burden placed on minority communities.
Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, tobacco heritage exhibits, local food vendors, and a community fair honoring the agricultural traditions and community resilience of this Roanoke River county.
