About Washington County Fair

The Washington County Fair in Plymouth celebrates a Roanoke River county in northeastern North Carolina where the historic Battle of Plymouth (the largest Civil War battle fought in North Carolina) took place in 1864, and where farming, fishing, and timber have supported small communities in the vast wetlands and farmlands along the Roanoke River.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a small-county community fair celebrating the agricultural traditions and Civil War heritage of the Roanoke River delta country.

Visitor Tips

Plymouth is a small county seat on the Roanoke River. The Port O' Plymouth Museum houses the CSS Albemarle — a Confederate ironclad ram that is being reconstructed — and the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge protects significant bottomland hardwood forest in the county.
